Effects of ketoconazole on triazolam pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and benzodiazepine receptor binding in mice.
We previously demonstrated that ketoconazole is a potent inhibitor of triazolam biotransformation in vitro and in vivo. Despite significant elevations in triazolam plasma levels with coadministration of ketoconazole, the pharmacodynamic enhancement was lower than predicted based on plasma levels of triazolam. The present study examines the effects of ketoconazole on benzodiazepine receptor bind...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics following single and repeated nightly administrations of loprazolam, a new benzodiazepine hypnotic.
The pharmacokinetics of oral loprazolam and pharmacodynamic responses on the morning following nightly drug administration were examined after single and after seven consecutive 1 mg doses in six non-fasting healthy subjects. The serum concentration-time profiles for unchanged loprazolam measured by a specific high pressure liquid chromatography/gas chromatography (h.p.l.c./g.c.) method and for...

متن کاملThe Benzodiazepine Receptor
The 1,4-benzodiazepines have become the most frequently prescribed of all psychotropic drugs since the introduction of the first member of this series, chlordiazepoxide, into clinical practice in 1960. The compounds are used as anxiolytics, sedative/hypnotics, anticonvulsants, and muscle relaxants. This unique spectrum of activity, together with their large therapeutic index and essential lack ...
متن کاملHistory of benzodiazepine dependence.
The benzodiazepines were developed in the 1950s, some introduced in the 1960s, and many more since then. Pharmacologically, they are sedative/hypnotics akin to alcohol, chloral, the barbiturates, and meprobamate. All have been widely used both within and outside the licit medical context. Usage of benzodiazepines increased dramatically during the 1960s and early 1970s; tranquilizer but not hypn...
