FG-7142 is a benzodiazepine receptor ligand with anxiogenic and proconvulsant properties. It increases benzodiazepine receptor ligand binding and GABA-dependent chloride uptake in primary chick cerebral cortical neurons when used at a concentration of 1 μM. FG-7142 (5 mg/kg) decreases pinning of the other animal and increases avoiding behavior in rats, an effect that can be prevented by the benzodiazepine receptor antagonist Ro 15-1788 (flumazenil; Item No. ). It reduces the infused pentylenetetrazol (PTZ; Item No. ) seizure threshold and induces generalized seizures in mice when administered at doses of 10 and 40 mg/kg, respectively. FG-7142 (3.75, 7.5, and 15 mg/kg, i.p.) also decreases food and water intake, eating rate, and time spent in the open arms of the elevated plus maze in female rats.
