"The SNR effects on seizures are site-specific within the SNR and developmentally regulated."5.30Regional and age specific effects of zolpidem microinfusions in the substantia nigra on seizures. ( Löscher, W; Moshé, SL; Velísková, J, 1998)
" Additionally, noneffective doses of either KATP channel opener (cromakalim) or nonselective μ-opioid receptor agonist (morphine) in combination with a noneffective dose of zolpidem exerted a significant anticonvulsive effect on PTZ-induced seizures in mice."3.83Involvement of ATP-sensitive potassium channels and the opioid system in the anticonvulsive effect of zolpidem in mice. ( Amiri, S; Dehdashtian, A; Dehpour, AR; Ghasemi, M; Ostadhadi, S; Sheikhi, M; Shirzadian, A, 2016)
"Clobazam (CLB), a 1,5-benzodiazepine (BZD), was FDA-approved in October 2011 for the adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) in patients 2 years and older."3.80Clobazam and its active metabolite N-desmethylclobazam display significantly greater affinities for α₂- versus α₁-GABA(A)-receptor complexes. ( Ebert, B; Jensen, HS; Lee, D; Nichol, K, 2014)
" In the present study, we examined the ability of diazepam to reduce pentylenetetrazoLe (PTZ)-induced and maximal electroshock (MES)-induced seizures in mice containing point mutations in single (alpha1H101R, alpha2H101R or alpha5H105R) or multiple (alpha125H-->R) alpha subunits that render the resulting GABA(A) receptors diazepam-insensitive."3.74Differential contribution of GABA(A) receptor subtypes to the anticonvulsant efficacy of benzodiazepine site ligands. ( Atack, JR; Bull, S; Dawson, GR; Fradley, RL; Garrett, EM; Goodacre, SC; Guscott, MR; Hallett, DJ; Newman, RJ; O'Meara, GF; Reynolds, DS; Rosahl, TW; Wafford, KA; Whiting, PJ, 2007)

( Chen, S; Kometiani, P; Lilly, SM; Rosenberg, HC; Tietz, EI; Zeng, XJ, 1999)
"Zolpidem is an imidazopyridine nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic drug with a high affinity to the α1 subunit of the gamma amino butyric acid A receptor It is the first pharmacological option in the short-term management of sleep-onset insomnia."1.48Severe Chronic Abuse of Zolpidem in Refractory Insomnia. ( Bianco, G; Castelnovo, A; Chiaro, G; Maffei, P; Manconi, M, 2018)
"Zolpidem is a widely used hypnotic drug acting via benzodiazepine binding sites on GABA(A) receptors."1.36Zolpidem is a potent anticonvulsant in adult and aged mice. ( Pericić, D; Vlainić, J, 2010)
"After repeated treatment the PTZ seizure threshold was not different between the two drugs, while differences in sedation became larger than after the acute treatment."1.35Effects of acute and repeated zolpidem treatment on pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure threshold and on locomotor activity: comparison with diazepam. ( Pericić, D; Vlainić, J, 2009)
"Zolpidem is a short acting hypnotic drug belonging to imidazopyridine family."1.34Seizure following sudden zolpidem withdrawal. ( Cubała, WJ; Landowski, J, 2007)
"Zolpidem is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic drug, acts selectively through omega 1 receptors of GABAA."1.33Zolpidem at supratherapeutic doses can cause drug abuse, dependence and withdrawal seizure. ( Khandelwal, DC; Sethi, PK, 2005)
" To assess pharmacodynamic and neurochemical effects of zolpidem, open-field behavior, pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure threshold and benzodiazepine receptor binding in vitro were evaluated in the same animal following a single dose of zolpidem."1.33Acute zolpidem administration produces pharmacodynamic and receptor occupancy changes at similar doses. ( Fahey, JM; Grassi, JM; Greenblatt, DJ; Reddi, JM, 2006)
"The SNR effects on seizures are site-specific within the SNR and developmentally regulated."1.30Regional and age specific effects of zolpidem microinfusions in the substantia nigra on seizures. ( Löscher, W; Moshé, SL; Velísková, J, 1998)
"Zaleplon was more potent than zolpidem but the maximal effect of zolpidem for increasing the latency to isoniazid-induced convulsions was greater than that of zaleplon."1.29Comparison of the pharmacological profiles of the hypnotic drugs, zaleplon and zolpidem. ( Morel, E; Perrault, G; Sanger, DJ, 1996)
"Zolpidem is a new, short-acting hypnotic of imidazopyridine structure which binds selectively to a subpopulation of receptors involved in the action of benzodiazepines [omega 1 (BZ1) sites of the gamma-aminobutyric acidA receptors]."1.28Lack of tolerance and physical dependence upon repeated treatment with the novel hypnotic zolpidem. ( Morel, E; Perrault, G; Sanger, DJ; Zivkovic, B, 1992)
