Diazepam induces tolerance in the isolated skin of Pleurodema thaul.

Abstract:

:The effects of the long-term administration of diazepam on the potential difference and short-circuit current of the isolated skin of the toad Pleurodema thaul (P. thaul) were investigated. Diazepam applied in a concentration range of 4.6 x 10(-6) to 5.2 x 10(-5) M decreased both electrical parameters. This response was unaffected by flumazenil indicating that the action of diazepam is not induced through benzodiazepine receptors. Induction of tolerance to diazepam on its observed effects on potential difference and short-circuit current was obtained by the administration of a single dose of the drug in a slow release preparation. Skins tolerant to diazepam were also tolerant to the acute effects of verapamil on both electric parameters. Tolerance to diazepam effects was partly reversed by increasing Ca2+ concentration in the inner bathing solution. The results are consistent with a Ca2+ channel blocking effect of diazepam in the P. thaul skin.
