beta-Carboline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester antagonizes diazepam activity.

Abstract:

:Analogous to the progression of events in the opiate receptor-enkaphalin area, the first reports that benzodiazepines have selective and specific high-affinity binding sites in brain have stimulated a search for the endogenous 'ligand' or substance that might normally act at these sites. Braestrup and co-workers have extracted from human urine a gamma-fraction (ref. 10) which they have recently identified as beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (beta CEE). They reported that this substance is extremely potent in displacing 3H-diazepam from brain binding sites and proposed that a beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid derivative might, in part, be the endogenous ligand for the brain benzodiazepine receptor. We have examined several synthetically derived beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid analogues and now present data obtained from testing only the beta CEE described by Braestrup et al. In addition to confirming these workers' observation that this compound is a potent displacer of 3H-diazepam from brain tissue, our pharmacological data indicate that beta CEE has activity that is opposite to, rather than similar to, that of diazepam.
