The density of [3H]flunitrazepam and [3H]Ro 5-4864 [4''-chlorodiazepam] binding sites was examined 19-21 and 27-31 days after surgical isolation of the olfactory bulbs. While statistically significant reductions in [3H]flunitrazpeam binding were observed in the olfactory bulbs at both intervals, a significant reduction in [3H]Ro 5-4864 binding was observed only at 27-31 days after surgery. No consistent changes in the binding of either radioligand were observed in cerebella. Extirpation of the olfactory bulbs resulted in a significant reduction in the convulsant potency (but not efficacy) of Ro 5-4864, while neither the potency nor efficacy of pentylenetetrazole was affected by this procedure. Benzodiazepine receptors and peripheral-type binding sites for benzodiazepines are apparently regulated independently, and at least a subpopulation of peripheral-type binding sites are associated with neuronal elements in the olfactory bulb. Peripheral-type binding sites for benzodiazepines in the olfactory bulbs may influence the consulvant actions of Ro 5-4864.
