Methanol extract of G. elata inhibited the binding of [/sup 3/H]Rol5-1788, a selective benzodiazepine receptor antagonest, to benzodiazepine receptor of rat cortices. Saturation experiments followed by Scatchard analysis of the results showed that the inhibition of [sub 3/H]Ro15-1788 binding by G. dlata. appeared to be com-petitive. These competitive inhibiton of the butanol fraction was observed to be higher than the methanol extract. Methanol extract of G. efara inhibited a [sub 3/H]flunitrazepam, a selective benzodiazepine receptor agonist, binding to benzodiazepine receptor. GABA significantly enhanced the inhibition of [/sub 3/H]flunitrazepam binding by G. elata, and these "positive GABA shift" supported the strong possibility of agonestic activity to benzodiazepine receptor Butanol fraction was observed to be higher than crude extract by methanol in an agonistic activity to benzodiazepine receptor, furthermore enhanced the binding of [sub 3/H]SR95531 to GABA receptor. Butanol fraction of G. elata significantly diminished the pentylenetetrazole-induced lethality of mice. From these results, it can be concluded that substance or substances with neurochemical properties characteri- stic of a benzodiazepine receptor agonist may be important components, and contribute to the anticonvulsant property of G. elata.

In order to examine the effects of N-substituted alkyl group on the anticonvulsant activities of N-Cbz-$\alpha$-aminoglutarimides as novel anticonvulsants with broad spectrum, a series of (R) or (S) N-Cbz-$\alpha$-amino-N-alkylglutarimides (1 and 2) were prepared from the corresponding (R) or (S) N-Cbz-glutamic acid and evaluated for the anticonvulsant activities in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) test and pentylenetetrazol induced seizure(PTZ) test, including the neurotoxicity. The most potent compound in the MES test was (S) N-Cbz-$\alpha$-amino-N-methylglutarimide($ED_{50}$=36.3 mg/kg, PI=1.7). This compound was also most potent in the PTZ test ($ED_{50}$=12.5 mg/kg, PI=5.0). The order of anticonvulsant activities against the MES test as evaluated form $ED_{50}$ values for (R) series was N-methyl > N-H > N-ethyl > N-allyl ; for the (S) series N-methyl > N-H > N-ethyl > N-alkyl > N-isobutyl compound. Against the PTZ tests, the order of anticonvulsant activities showed similar pattern ; for the (R) series, N-methyl > N-H > N-ethyl > N-allyl ; for the (S) series N-methyl > N-H > N-ethyl > N-allyl > N-isobutyl compound. From the above results, N-substituted alkyl groups were though to play an important role for the anticonvulsant activities of N-Cbz-$\alpha$-amino-N-alkylgutarimides.

Safety evaluation of LB71350, a new HIV-1 protease inhibitor, was performed in mice, rats and dogs. For the general behavior of mice, LB71350 at an oral dose of 200 mg/kg did not show any significant effects on muscle tone and locomotor activity. In terms of central nervous system, at oral doses of 200 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg, LB71350 inhibited acetic acid-induced pain response approximately 41% and 83% of control. respectively. At oral doses of 200 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg, it reduced the rectal body temperature in rats. Pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure in mice was slightly potentiated by oral administration of LB71350 at doses ranging from 200 mg/kg to 1000 mg/Ag. Single or five day treatment of LB71350 doubled the hexobarbital- induced sleeping time in mice at oral doses ranging from 50 mg/kg to 500 mg/kg. It did not cause any effects on gastric secretion and acidity in rat at oral doses of 200 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg and also it did not change intestinal motility in mice up to 1000 mg/kg. Blood coagulation indices such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and thrombin time (TT) in rats were not affected by the treatment of LB71350 up to 500 mg/kg. LB71350 caused no significant effects on the cardiac output, stroke volume, heart rate, and mean blood pressure when infused intravenously to the anesthetized rats and dogs. Taken together, LB71350 at high oral doses caused significant pharmacological effects on the central nervous system and the hexobarbital-induced sleeping time.

DA-5018 slightly inhibited 5-lipoxygenase activity and these results together indicate that analgesic action of 3A-5018 is not mediated through inhibition of cyclooxy genase or lipoxygenase. These results suggest that the analgesic effect of DA-5018 is
