In rats rendered hyperlipidemic by the interperitoneal injection of Triton WR-1339, the administration of 4'-chlorodiazepam, a selective agonist of the peripheral type of benzodiazepine (BZO) receptors evoked significant reductions of serum lipids. PK 11195, a specific antagonist of these receptors, partially inhibited these effects. Flumazenil, a selective antagonist of the central BZD receptors, enhanced the lipid lowering activity of 4'-chlorodiazepam.

The postnatal development of susceptibility to the convulsant effects of Ro5-4864 (4'-chlorodiazepam) was characterized in two inbred mouse strains (DBA/2J and BALB/c ByJ) which as adults differ markedly in their response to this convulsant. Onset of susceptibility to a dose of Ro5-4864 which caused a high frequency of clonic seizures in adults was observed at 10 days of age in DBA/2 mice, but not until 35 days in BALB/c By mice. At 14 days of age an abrupt increase in susceptibility to Ro5-4864-induced tonic seizures was found in DBA/2 but not BALB/c By mice. Both the peak of tonic seizure susceptibility (21 days) and the time course of its subsequent age-dependent decline closely paralleled the change in audiogenic seizure susceptibility in the DBA/2 strain. PK11195 (40 mg/kg) blocked Ro5-4864 (25 mg/kg)-induced, age-dependent tonic seizures but had no effect on clonic seizure induction in the same mice. These observations establish that both the susceptibility to Ro5-4864 in adult mice and the postnatal time course for development of susceptibility to this convulsant are inherently different in these two strains of mice. The lack of coincidence between the developmental onset of susceptibility to Ro5-4864-induced seizures and the onset of supersensitivity to Ro5-4864-induced tonic seizures during the period of peak audiogenic seizure susceptibility in DBA/2 mice implies that more than one neurochemical mechanism is involved in the ability of Ro5-4864 to induce seizures in this strain. However, the blockade of Ro5-4864-induced tonic seizures by PK11195 suggests that peripheral type benzodiazepine receptors may mediate this effect.
The effects of 1,4-benzodiazepines with various heterocyclic ring structures (triazolo, triazino and imidazo), and of 1,4-benzodiazepines with chlorine substitution in the phenyl ring (4'- chlorodiazepam , 2'- chlorodiazepam and 2'- chloronordiazepam ) were studied on spatial-delayed alternation and delayed matching-to-sample tasks in the monkey. Within the dose range 0.25-0.75 mg kg-1, the triazolo compounds had marked activity, decreasing the number of correct responses and increasing total response time. The triazino was less potent and the imidazo compounds were the least likely to disrupt performance. Smaller doses (0.005, 0.01 and 0.05 mg kg-1) of triazolam did not impair performance on the tasks, and larger doses of imidazo (1.0, 3.0 and 7.5 mg kg-1) were without effect on delayed alternation. Within the dose range 1.0-10.0 mg kg-1, 4'- chlorodiazepam was without effect and only the largest dose of diazepam and 2'- chlorodiazepam impaired performance. 2'- Chloronordiazepam decreased the number of correct responses at all doses (1.0, 3.0 and 10.0 mg kg-1) and with the largest dose, the total response time was increased. The studies suggest that the effects of a drug on higher nervous function in the monkey cannot easily be predicted from standard pharmacological tests in other animals or other species of monkey.
