Pharmacology of pyrazolopyridines
Limited anxiolytic-like effects of non-benzodiazepine hypnotics in rodents
TLDR
The present experiments demonstrate that, although selective ω 1-BZD receptor hypnotics display anxiolytic-like activity, the effects are generally weaker than those observed with non-selective ω-BzD receptor selective hypnotics such as triazolam or zopiclone.
Benzodiazepine-induced hyperphagia in the nondeprived rat: Comparisons with CL 218,872, zopiclone, tracazolate and phenobarbital
Fenobam: A Clinically Validated Nonbenzodiazepine Anxiolytic Is a Potent, Selective, and Noncompetitive mGlu5 Receptor Antagonist with Inverse Agonist Activity
TLDR
The non-GABAergic activity of fenobam, coupled with its robust anxiolytic activity and reported efficacy in human in a double blind placebo-controlled trial, supports the potential of developing mGlu5 receptor antagonists with an improved therapeutic window over benzodiazepines as novel anxIOlytic agents.
Behavioral effects of non‐opioid antitussive anticonvulsants
TLDR
The non‐opioid antitussive anticonvulsants were devoid of significant behavioral effects at the ED50 does and did not possess the anxiolytic activity of benzodiazepine or barbiturate anticonVulsants.

TLDR
The effects of several compounds believed to act at the GABA‐benzodiazepine receptor complex and which have anticonvulsant or proconvulsant properties when administered in combination with picrotoxin and pentetrazol were investigated in combination without affecting convulsions induced by Ro 5–4864.

Selective antagonists of benzodiazepines
TLDR
The main properties of a representative of this novel class of specific benzodiazepine antagonists are described, whose unique pharmacological activity is to prevent or abolish in a highly selective manner at the receptor level all the characteristic centrally mediated effects of active Benzodiazepines.

GABAergic modulation of benzodiazepine binding site sensitivity
TLDR
GA can modulate the responsiveness of this BZ binding site since the addition of GABA to cortical membranes in vitro results in an increased affinity of the 3H-diazepam binding site for its ligand.
