Abstract: | The distribution of the minimum effective doses of bicuculline, corasole and picrotoxin was studied in intact mice and in mice administered different doses of 1.4-benzodiazepines (phenazepam and its 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxy derivatives) and sodium barbital. The changes in the "dose-response" relationship for thiosemicarbazide have been observed with the administration of the increasing doses of phenazepam and sodium barbital. The effects registered correspond to the modifications of the GABA-receptor complex by exogenous ligands. The forms of the "dose-response" relationship observed, the types of the antagonism between pharmacological agents and the cooperation of their interaction correspond to the indices obtained from the "quartet" model of the receptor-channel complex. |
