Background
• GABA: Main inhibitory neurotransmitter• GABA receptor- composed of alpha, beta and
gamma subunits Span the post synaptic membrane• Depending on types, no. of subunits and brain
region localization, activation of receptors results in different pharmacological effects
![Page 5: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

GABA A Receptor- most versatile receptor complex in body
• This receptor has many other drug receptors; these drugs bind at their specific sites and enhance effects of GABA neurotransmitter
• Benzodiazepine receptors are found ONLY in CNS and their location parallels that of
GABA-ergic neurons
![Page 7: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Benzodiazepines
• Effects in increasing doses Minimum Maximum (tranquilizers) (partial anesthesia)• BDZ bind to specific high affinity sites that are
SEPARATE but adjacent to GABA binding sites• Binding of BZ enhances the affinity of receptor
for GABA binding and INCREASED frequency of Cl channel opening
![Page 8: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
BDZ Classification Acc To DOA
1. Short Acting (2-6 hrs) Trizaolam2. Intermediate Acting (10-40 Hrs) Temazepam, Lorazepam, Oxazepam, Alprazolam3. Long Acting (20-100 hrs) Diazepam, Clorazepate
![Page 9: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
• Sedative/ Hypnotics Temazepam, Flurazepam, Nitrazepam• Anxiolytics Diazepam, Oxazepam, Lorazepam• Anticonvulsants Diazepam, Nitrazepam, Clonazepam• Central muscle relaxants Diazepam, Flurazepam, Clonazepam
![Page 10: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
PHARMACOKINETICS
• Generally given ORALLY but at times PARENTERALLY
• ABSORPTION- from gut • RAPIDITY of onset of action depends upon lipid
solubility• easily cross BBB and Placental barrier• Once absorbed rate at which a BDZ crosses CSF depends upon protein binding, lipid solubility and ionization constant
![Page 11: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
METABOLISM
• via Phase I then Phase II reactions• MOST BDZ are extensively met by HEPATIC
MICROSOMAL SYSTEM • t ½ is important- because therapeutic use is
dependent upon DOA that depends inturn on active metabolite
• EXCRETION: via urine as glucuronides or oxidized metabolites
![Page 12: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• N-Dealkylation Hydroxylation Glucuronide conjugation• Longer acting agents form metabolites with
longer t1/2
![Page 13: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
BDZ -Mechanism of Action
• GABA-ERGIC not GABA-mimmetic• Potentiate inhibitory effect of GABA• without GABA they cannot produce effect• supramolecular complex having pentameric
structure enclosing a chloride channel• BDZ receptor- b/w alpha and gamma GABA receptor- b/w alpha and beta units
![Page 14: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
GROUP ACTIONSno effect on ANS, no analgesia
• anti anxiety- at low doses• sedation- calming effect• hypnosis- sleep induction• anterograde amnesia• anti convulsant action• central muscle relaxation- increased pre-
synaptic inhibition in spinal cord• IV use in anesthesia- pre anesthetic med
![Page 16: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• relieve agarophobia and neophobia• DIAZEPAM if given IV has analgesic axn• ALPRAZOLAM- anti depressant axn• CVS EFFECTS- depression of vasomotor centre
in TOXIC DOSES cause myocardial and vascular tone depression
• RESPIRATORY EFFECTS- dose related depression of respiration
![Page 17: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
THERAPEUTIC USES
Pharmacokinetic properties are important consideration in choosing one BZ over other as their DOA varies widely among group.• To relieve anxiety• Treatment of insomnia• Sedation and amnesia before & during short
surgery that does not require much analgesia e.g; endoscopy, cardioversion, obs proceduresConsciuos sedation
![Page 18: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Symptomatic treatment of epilepsy /convulsions
• To control ethanol or sedative/ hypnotic withdrawl states; Chlorazepate, diazepam
• Component of balanced anesthesia; for induction and maintenance of GA- BDZ are adjunct and do not cause full anesthesia
• Control of convulsions induced by local anesthetic overdose
![Page 19: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• For muscle relaxation in specific NM disorders- multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy
• diagnostic aid for treatment in psychiatry• Alprazolam- antidepressant
![Page 20: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ADVERSE EFFECTS
• sedation• hang-over: confusional states in elderly,
lethargy , lassitute ataxia in increased doses• loss of memory• GIT upset/ epigastric distress• Paradoxical behavioral disturbance • Floppy baby syndrome in neonates
![Page 21: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• dependence• tolerance- with short t1/2• cross tolerance between BDZ and other CNS
depressants
![Page 22: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
DRUG INTERACTIONS
• BZ act in additive manner with alcohol, barbiturates and anticonvulsants
• Smoking induces P450 2C enzyme which metabolizes BZ therefore smokers need large doses
• SSRIs increase diazepam levels by altering clearance
![Page 23: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
PRECAUTIONS
• liver disease• alcohol and other CNS depressants
![Page 24: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
BDZ ANTAGONISTS
• FLUMAZINEL endogenous BDZ like mediator DBI- diazepam binding inhibitor ONLY inhibits BDZ action cause convulsions, insomnia, restlessness & inhibit all effects of BDZ met by liver- rapidly
![Page 25: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• short half life compared to BDZ so repeated doses required
• given to a patient who becomes dependent on BDZ
• ABSTINENCE SYNDROME: if BDZ+ TCA are taken together and flumazinel is given- chances of arrhythmias and convulsions increase
![Page 26: SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS & ANXIOLYTICS Dr. Sana Fatima](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032311/56649db45503460f94aa4b59/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
BDZ ANTAGONISTS
• BDZ inverse agonists- β carbolines• GABA A receptor antagonists BICUCULLINE• GABA synthesis inhibitor-
THIOSEMICARBAZIDE
