Abstract:
Midazolam is a commonly used benzodiazepine in palliative care and is considered one of the four essential drugs needed for the promotion of quality care in dying patients. Acting on the benzodiazepine receptor, it promotes the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid. Gamma-aminobutyric acid action promotes sedative, anxiolytic, and anticonvulsant properties. Midazolam has a faster onset and shorter duration of action than other benzodiazepines such as diazepam and lorazepam lending itself to greater flexibility in dosing than other benzodiazepines. The kidneys excrete midazolam and its active metab

Abstract:
Background/Aim. Benzodiazepines are among the most frequently ingested drugs in self-poisonings. Elderly may be at greater risk compared with younger individuals due to impaired metabolism and increased sensitivity to benzodiazepines. The aim of this study was to assess toxicity of benzodiazepines in elderly attempted suicide. Methods. A retrospective study of consecutive presentations to hospital after self-poisoning with benzodiazepines was done. Collected data consisted of patient's characteristics (age, gender), benzodiazepine ingested with its blood concentrations at admission, clinical f

Background Inhibition of adenosine metabolism offers a unique approach to harness the cardioprotective properties of adenosine in a site- and event-specific manner.

Abstract:
SUMMARYAlprazolam (a benzodiazepine in the group of the triazolo-benzodiazepines) is a potent drug for the treatment of panic disorder. This is possible due to four different interactions with neurotransmitter systems. First, it facilitates, as all diazepines, the inhibitory acitivity of gamma-amino-butyricacid (GABA). The chemical structure differs from the benzodiazepines by incorporation of the triazoloring. Due to this triazoloring, the drug has three additional modes of action. These modes of action inhibit the locus coeruleus which plays a role in the origin of panic disorder. A first sp

Introduction: Benzodiazepines are the most commonly prescribed class of drugs in India and are capable of impairing the performance of an aviator in therapeutic to subtherapeutic levels. Detection of benzodiazepines, particularly in blood, is not easy, since the concentrations present, especially following prescribed medical use, can be very low. Several publications have addressed estimation of benzodiazepines in plasma or serum; however, few have attempted their detection in whole blood.

ABSTRACT Benzodiazepines are pharmacological agents widely used for their anxiolytic and anticonvulsant properties. However, as these drugs are known to antagonize the binding and action of thyrotrophin-releasing hormone (TRH) in pituitary tissue, the possibility that they may modulate GH secretion was investigated in domestic fowl, in which TRH is a GH-releasing factor. Chlordiazepoxide (an antagonist of central-type benzodiazepine receptors) had no significant effect on the basal release of GH from incubated chicken pituitary glands, but at concentrations > 10 μmol/l chlordiazepoxide supp

Clobazam (CLBZ) is a 1,5-benzodiazepine with potent anticonvulsant activity. The metabolism of this drug was investigated in the rat and in vitro with the aid of stable isotope-labelled analogues and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GCMS). Pentadeuteriophenyl CLBZ [²H₅]CLBZ was synthesized in essentially quantitative isotopic purity, and characterized by ¹H-NMR and GCMS. Of the five steps involved in the synthesis of [²H₅]CLBZ, the most susceptible to deuterium exchange was the nucleophilic substitution of 2,4-dichloronitrobenzene by aniline-d₇ to form N-(5-chloro-2-nitrophenyl)pentadeut

The presence of pharmaceuticals in the environment is becoming an increasing regulatory and scientific concern. Thus, the metabolic profile and bioconcentration potential of diazepam, a model benzodiazepine, were examined, as well as effects on the endocrine system in channel catfish.

Abstract:
When properly prescribed, benzodiazepines and related “Z” drugs, are usually safe and effective. However, some patients experience lack of efficacy, severe adverse effects, and/or protracted withdrawal symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no reliable way to predict outcome prior to treatment. Use has dramatically expanded, to the point where some experts suggest a disconnect with actual medical need. With increased and longer prescribing there has been a corresponding increase in the “down-side” of these drugs. Benzodiazepines, as all drugs, produce some degree of normal physiologic tolerance and

Abstract:
The benzodiazepines are almost universally thought to produce one and only one pharmacologic effect: positive allosteric modulation of GABA<sub>A</sub> receptors located in the brain. This results in an increased Cl−ion influx, greater negative transmembrane potential difference, and neurons that are less likely to fire in response to anxiety-producing stimulation. Unfortunately, the simplicity and success of this mono-target belief has distracted researchers and clinicians from studying and appreciating their other pharmacology. A glaring example is the general lack of awareness of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor. The peripheral benzodiazepine receptor alters mitochondrial function (energy supply), cholesterol transport, and immune function. A patient who is on long-term benzodiazepine therapy (or withdrawing from them) will have these sites affected, just as are the sites located in the brain. One can easily imagine that the adverse effects associated with the peripheral sites would be fundamental, varied, and potentially profound—involving lack of energy, altered cholesterol metabolism, and aberrant immune function.

Abstract:
Benzodiazepines have been touted as safer alternatives to their barbiturate predecessor since their arrival on the market in 1960. Their proposed improved safety is based on their reported reduced drug interactions, lower abuse potential, and decreased respiratory depression. Benzodiazepines bind to the GABA<sub>A</sub> receptor and positively modulate GABAergic transmission and hyperpolarization of neuronal membranes. Individual agents are utilized differently depending on their varying degrees of hypnotic, anxiolytic, antiepileptic, muscle relaxant, and amnestic properties. Benzodiazepines are frequently classified by their half-life (t<sub>½</sub>), a key pharmacokinetic parameter that dictates the agents’ ability to precipitate dangerous withdrawals. The majority of benzodiazepines undergo phase I hepatic metabolism via cytochrome p450 that introduce the potential for drug interactions. Following hepatic metabolism, almost all agents within this drug class have active metabolites that have extended half-lives beyond that of the parent drug that prolong the duration of activity. Urine drug screens are an essential component of medication monitoring and require a foundational understanding of the parent drug, its metabolites, and what the available immunoassay is designed to detect. A similar drug class that is frequently grouped with benzodiazepines are Z-drugs. These agents were developed in attempt to create a sleep aid that lacked the undesirable qualities of benzos with an improved safety profile. Z-drugs share the common characteristic of being short-acting in nature and are proposed to cause less disruption in the normal sleep cycle than benzodiazepines.

Abstract:
Pharmacodynamic (increasing or decreasing the effect of a medication on the body) and pharmacokinetic (altering the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and/or excretion of a medication) interactions are important in palliative care. These interactions are similar to those seen in other areas of medical care, but they have significant consequences in pain and symptom management. Failure to recognize these interactions can lead to overdosing, undertreatment, or increased side effect burden. This chapter highlights the key topics regarding pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic interactions and provides examples that include the commonly used opioids such as codeine and methadone, as well as benzodiazepines and other symptom management medications.
