Abstract：
:Previous behavioral studies on triazolam (TZ), which are small in number, could only speculate about tolerance to the anxiolytic effect of TZ, as the experiments did not cover sufficient time (of 4 to 7 days) for tolerance to develop. Therefore longer time for chronic TZ administration is used. We investigated the effects of TZ on motor activity and exploratory behavior using plus maze and open field. Three experiments were conducted. In the first, five groups of rats were acutely treated with different doses of TZ (0.25 mg/kg-4.0 mg/kg). In the second set of experiments, rats were treated chronically with a single daily dose of TZ (started with 0.25 mg/kg and increased by time to 1.0 mg/kg) for 5 weeks (representing clinical use). In the third, rats were treated chronically with three daily doses of TZ (started with 0.25 mg/kg and increased by time to 0.5 mg/kg) for 20 days (mimicking drug abuse). Acute TZ administration produced dose dependent anxiolytic effects and a decrease in motor activity with higher doses. Chronically treated rats, either once daily or three times daily doses, showed tolerance to both anxiolytic and sedative effects of TZ. It may be concluded that tolerance to the anxiolytic and sedative effects of TZ would develop after chronic administration either with clinical use or its abuse.
