Journal ArticleDOI
Some properties of brain specific benzodiazepine receptors: New evidence for multiple receptors
Richard F. Squires,Donald I. Benson,Claus Braestrup,Joseph Coupet,Claire A. Klepner,Vera Myers,Bernard Beer +6 more
TL;DR: Several new lines of evidence suggest the existence of two or more distinct types of benzodiazepine receptors, in contrast to earlier results suggesting the presence of only one class of receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resolution of two biochemically and pharmacologically distinct benzodiazepine receptors
TL;DR: It is proposed that two biochemically distinct BDZ receptors exist in brain which are responsible for the mediation of different pharmacological activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
A synthetic non-benzodiazepine ligand for benzodiazepine receptors: a probe for investigating neuronal substrates of anxiety.
TL;DR: CL 218,872 is the first non-benzodiazepine to selectively displace brain specific 3H-diazepam binding with a potency comparable to that of the benzodiazepines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between benzodiazepine receptors and experimental anxiety in rats
TL;DR: Data implicate 3H-diazepam binding sites in mediating at least some of the anxiolytic properties of benzodiazepines and suggest the existence of some endogenous substance which might be involved in the etiology of anxiety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benzodiazepine receptors: cellular and behavioral characteristics.
Arnold S. Lippa,Donald J. Critchett,Mary C. Sano,Claire A. Klepner,Eugene N. Greenblatt,Joseph Coupet,Bernard Beer +6 more
TL;DR: Biochemical, electrophysiological and behavioral experiments highlight the possible importance of frontal cortex in mediating the anxiolytic properties of the benzodiazepines and provide insights into the nature of the endogenous ligand.
