Chemistry
editDespite acting at the benzodiazepine site, it does not possess the benzodiazepine structure. It is an Imidazothienodiazepine: a thiophene ring, an imidazole ring and a diazepine ring fused together.
Effects & Pharmacodynamics
editRo 19-4603 is an inverse agonist at the benzodiazepine binding site. Due to this, it has effects similar to other benzodiazepine inverse agonists, notably: anxiogenesis,[2] convulsions.[3]
Administration of this compound was able to decrease voluntary alcohol consumption. This was also observed in rats selected for high alcohol preference.[4] In addition to decreasing its consumption, Ro 19-4603 is able to antagonize the intoxicating effects of alcohol.[5]
