flumazenil and Aging

flumazenil has been researched along with Aging in 19 studies

Flumazenil: A potent benzodiazepine receptor antagonist. Since it reverses the sedative and other actions of benzodiazepines, it has been suggested as an antidote to benzodiazepine overdoses.
flumazenil : An organic heterotricyclic compound that is 5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine which is substituted at positions 3, 5, 6, and 8 by ethoxycarbonyl, methyl, oxo, and fluoro groups, respectively. It is used as an antidote to benzodiazepine overdose.

Aging: The gradual irreversible changes in structure and function of an organism that occur as a result of the passage of time.

"The influence of flumazenil on seizures induced by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) was studied in rats aged 7, 12, 18, 25, and 90 days."3.68Anticonvulsant activity of flumazenil in rats during ontogenetic development. ( Kubová, H; Mares, P; Rathouská, J; Vorlícek, J, 1993)
" In 26% (elderly) and 23% (young), the absolute bioavailability of flumazenil was very similar."2.67Flumazenil kinetics in the elderly. ( Roncari, G; Timm, U; Weber, W; Zell, M; Zumbrunnen, R, 1993)
"Midazolam is an imidazobenzodiazepine with unique properties when compared with other benzodiazepines."2.37Midazolam: pharmacology and uses. ( Fragen, RJ; Greenblatt, DJ; Reves, JG; Vinik, HR, 1985)
"Propofol was administrated to the WT and AD Tg mice once a week for 8 or 12 weeks, respectively."1.40Chronic treatment with anesthetic propofol improves cognitive function and attenuates caspase activation in both aged and Alzheimer's disease transgenic mice. ( Dong, Y; Shao, H; Xia, W; Xie, Z; Yu, B; Zhang, Y, 2014)
"Because dystonia in mutant dtsz hamsters is transient and disappears after approximately 60-70 days of age, [3H]flumazenil binding was studied at the age of maximum severity of dystonia (30-40 days) and after disappearance of the disease, to examine which neurochemical changes were related to dystonia."1.29Regionally selective and age-dependent alterations in benzodiazepine receptor binding in the genetically dystonic hamster.
