The interactions of pentamethylenetetrazole and 10-tetrazole [TTZ] analogs [6,6''-dichloropentamethylene TTZ, l-cyclohexyl-5-methyl-TTZ, 7-methyl-10-isopropylpentamethylene TTZ, 7-methylpentamethylene TTZ, 7-methyl-9-isopropylpentamethylene TTZ, heptamethylene TTZ, 6-o-chlorophenyl TTZ, 1-isobutyl-5-methylene TTZ, 1-methyl-5-cyclohexyl TTZ octamethylene TTZ] with the picrotoxinin site of the benzodiazepine-GABA receptor-ionophore complex was investigated [in rats]. All the active TTZ analogs potently inhibited the binding of [35S]tert-butyl-bicyclophosphorothionate (TBPT), a ligand which binds to the picrotoxinin site. TTZ analogs appear to interact with the picrotoxinin site competitively. All the TTZ analogs tested were more potent in inhibiting TBPT binding than diazepam binding. There is a reasonably good correlation between the TTZ analogs to inhibit TBPT binding and the doses at which they produce convulsions. Pentamethylene TTZ inhibited TBPT binding at concentrations which are similar to the in vivo concentrations present during convulsions produced by this drug. Thus, TTZ may produce convulsions by acting at the picrotoxin-sensitive site of the benzodiazepine-GABA receptor-ionophore complex.
