Research Excerpts

Overview

ExcerptReference
"Tiletamine/zolazepam is a dissociative anesthetic combination commonly used in small animals but information is limited in rats. "( Durongphongtorn, S; Jampachaisri, K; Limprasutr, V; Pacharinsak, C; Sharp, P, 2021)
"Tiletamine-zolazepam is a widely used as an alternative chemical immobilization method in non-human primates, with a safe application pathway and necessary relaxation. "( Andrade, JK; Carreiro, ADN; Costa, TSF; de La Salles, AYF; de Menezes, DJA; de Souza, AP; de Souza, JG; Lemos, KKA; Reinaldo, MPOS, 2019)
"Tiletamine is a disassociative anesthetic similar to ketamine and phencyclidine, and zolazepam is a diazepine derivative tranquilizer used to minimize the muscle hypertonicity and seizures associated with tiletamine."( Camporese, T; Cording, CJ; DeLuca, R; Spratt, E, 1999)
"Tiletamine hydrochloride is a lipophilic and potent veterinary anesthetic."( Bohacek, R; ffRench-Mullen, JM; Fisher, RS; Lehmann, J, 1987)

Treatment

ExcerptReference
"Treatment with tiletamine had a slight, but insignificant, effect on CYP-mediated enzyme activities."( Bandiera, SM; Wong, A, 1998)
"Pretreatment with tiletamine did not attenuate the MK-801-induced increases in rat pyriform cortical DA metabolism, a result suggesting that tiletamine is not a partial agonist of the NMDA-uncoupled PCP recognition sites in this region."( Cler, JA; Contreras, PC; Dilworth, VM; Iyengar, S; Mick, SJ; Monahan, JB; Rao, TS; Wood, PL, 1991)
