Ro 19-4603 is an inverse agonist of the benzodiazepine binding site. It has effects antagonistic to those of benzodiazepines.

Chemistry[edit]

Despite acting at the benzodiazepine site, it does not possess the benzodiazepine struture. It is an Imidazothienodiazepine: a thiophene ring, an imidazole ring and a diazepine ring fused together.

Effects & Pharmacodynamics[edit]

Ro 19-4603 is an inverse agonist at the benzodiazepine binding site. Due to this, it has effects similar to other benzodiazepine inverse agonists, notably: anxiogenesis,[2] convulsions.[3]

Administration of this compound was able to decrease voluntary alcohol consumption. This was also observed in rats selected for high alcohol preference.[4] In addition to decreasing its consumption, Ro 19-4603 is able to antagonize the intoxicating effects of alcohol.[5]
