Abstract
A benzodiazepine antagonist, R015-1788, was administered intragastrically to diazepam-dependent gastric fistula rats and a precipitated abstinence syndrome was observed. The intensity of the R015-1788 precipitated abstinence syndrome, calculated by the Precipitated Abstinence Scale, increased in intensity in a log-dose manner over a dose range of 1.0 to 15.0 mg/kg of R015-1788 and plateaued at the 15.0 mg/kg dose. The R015-1788 precipitated diazepam abstinence syndrome differed both qualitatively and quantitatively from the diazepam withdrawal syndrome.
