Immunomodulatory effect of ligands active at the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) was examined in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Ro5-4864, PK11195 and diazepam suppressed phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A (ConA) induced proliferation of PBMC. All three ligands inhibited interleukin-3-like activity (IL-3-LA) secretion, while the production of interleukin-2 (IL-2) was inhibited by Ro5-4864 and diazepam only. The selective central benzodiazepine ligand clonazepam did not affect the cellular immune functions examined. Our results indicate an in-vitro immuno-suppressive activity of peripheral and mixed, but not central type benzodiazepine ligands.
