flunitrazepam and Alcohol Abuse

flunitrazepam has been researched along with Alcohol Abuse in 24 studies

Flunitrazepam: A benzodiazepine with pharmacologic actions similar to those of DIAZEPAM that can cause ANTEROGRADE AMNESIA. Some reports indicate that it is used as a date rape drug and suggest that it may precipitate violent behavior. The United States Government has banned the importation of this drug.
flunitrazepam : A 1,4-benzodiazepinone that is nitrazepam substituted by a methyl group at position 1 and by a fluoro group at position 2'. It is a potent hypnotic, sedative, and amnestic drug used to treat chronic insomnia.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"An analysis of kinetic parameters (Kd and Bmax) of [3H]flunitrazepam and [3H]PK-11195 binding with synaptosomal and mitochondrial membranes in the human brain showed that BDR was decreased and capacity increased in different human brain areas under the influence of alcohol abuse."3.80[Brain benzodiazepine receptors in humans and rats with alcohol addiction]. ( Bokhan, NA; Semke, VIa; Shushpanova, TB; Solonskiĭ, AV; Udut, VV, 2014)
"Long-term alcohol abuse is known to target specific areas of the brain such as the superior frontal cortex (SFC), resulting in neuronal cell loss."1.31Expression and distribution of GABAA receptor subtypes in human alcoholic cerebral cortex. ( Buckley, ST; Dodd, PR; Eckert, AL, 2000)
"Seizures were detected in 25% of the animals during withdrawal episode 10-13."1.29Glutamate and benzodiazepine receptor autoradiography in rat brain after repetition of alcohol dependence. ( Allerup, P; Bech, B; Diemer, NH; Ebert, B; Hemmingsen, R; Ulrichsen, J, 1996)
"Whereas cases with concomitant Wernicke encephalopathy may also have had greater numbers of superior frontal [3H]muscimol binding sites than controls, alcoholics with cirrhosis of the liver showed more muted differences."1.29GABAA receptors in damaged cerebral cortex areas in human chronic alcoholics. ( Dodd, PR, 1994)
"The effect of alcohol dependence induced by ethanol inhalation on GABA-dependent 36Cl- influx into membrane vesicles prepared from the mouse brain has been examined."1.28Functional alterations in cerebral GABAA receptor complex associated with formation of alcohol dependence: analysis using GABA-dependent 36Cl- influx into neuronal membrane vesicles.
