Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic effects of flumazenil and theophylline application in rats acutely intoxicated by diazepam [PDF]
Background/Aim. The majority of symptoms and signs of acute diazepam poisoning are the consequence of its sedative effect on the CNS affecting selectively polisynaptic routes by stimulating inhibitory action of GABA.

Linking GABAergic and Dopaminergic Neurotransmission: Effects on Neural Activity During Human Speech Control. [PDF]
A multimodal neuroimaging approach using PET with [11C]flumazenil radioligand combined with PET with [11C]raclopride and functional MRI in healthy humans identified the role of GABAergic neurotransmission and its relationship with dopaminergic function and brain activity during real‐life speaking.

Efficacy and Safety of Remimazolam Compared to Midazolam for Sedation During Endoscopic Ultrasonography: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives Remimazolam is a novel ultra–short‐acting benzodiazepine that may offer advantages over conventional sedatives in endoscopic procedures. Evidence for its use in pancreatobiliary endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is limited. We compared the efficacy and safety of remimazolam and midazolam in outpatient pancreatobiliary EUS.

Flumazenil-Insensitive Benzodiazepine Effects in Recombinant αβ and Neuronal GABAA Receptors
Gamma-aminobutyric acid, type A (GABAA) receptors are complex heterogeneous pentamers with various drug binding sites. Several lines of evidence suggest that benzodiazepines modulate certain GABAA receptors in a flumazenil-insensitive manner, possibly ...

Midazolam inhibits hippocampal long-term potentiation and learning through dual central and peripheral benzodiazepine receptor activation and neurosteroidogenesis [PDF]
Benzodiazepines (BDZs) enhance GABA(A) receptor inhibition by direct actions on central BDZ receptors (CBRs). Although some BDZs also bind mitochondrial receptors [translocator protein (18 kDa) (TSPO)] and promote the synthesis of GABA-enhancing ...
