BACKGROUND: As orexinergic (OXergic) neurons have been reported to mediate emotional changes, benzodiazepines might interact with OXergic neurons.METHODS: We examined the interactions between OXergic neurons and benzodiazepine receptors in orexin-A (100 nM) and K+ (25 mM)-evoked norepinephrine release from rat cerebrocortical slices.RESULTS: Midazolam, diazepam, and flunitrazepam concentration-dependently inhibited both OX-A- and K+-evoked norepinephrine release. The IC50 of midazolam for orexin-A-evoked release (0.87 mu M, P < 0.01), which was insensitive to flumazenil, was significantly lower than that of diazepam and flunitrazepam (around 60 mu M), whereas the IC(50)s for K+-evoked release were not different among the benzodiazepines.CONCLUSION: There may be no interaction between OXergic neurons and central benzodiazepine receptors.
