Regional differences in the enhancement by GABA of [3H]zolpidem binding to omega 1 sites in rat brain membranes and sections.

The potential heterogeneity in the allosteric coupling between GABA and omega 1 binding sites within the native GABAA receptor complex has been evaluated in the rat by measuring the enhancement by GABA of [3H]zolpidem binding to omega 1 site in membranes from three rat brain structures (neocortex, cerebellum and hippocampus) and brain sections. The maximal stimulatory effect of GABA was significantly higher (265 +/- 47%) in cortical membranes than in cerebellar (165 +/- 48%) or in hippocampal (118 +/- 17%) membranes. These differences are not due either to the presence of different amounts of residual GABA in the membrane preparations or to the labeling, in presence of GABA, of binding sites other than omega 1 since: (1) the pharmacological properties of the [3H]zolpidem binding sites were similar in the three regions; (2) the degree of allosteric enhancement was unrelated to the relative proportion of omega 1 sites in each structure; and (3) GABA did not increase the Bmax for [3H]zolpidem. Regional differences in the effect of 100 microM GABA on [3H]zolpidem binding were also observed by quantitative autoradiography. Regions where the strongest (3-4-fold) effects of GABA in [3H]zolpidem binding were observed included the substantia nigra, lateral geniculate body, olfactory tubercule and red nucleus. A large increase in [3H]zolpidem binding was also demonstrated in the cingulate and frontoparietal cortices with higher effects in deep (4.2-fold) rather than in superficial layers (3.3-fold). Heterogeneous subregional increases in [3H]zolpidem binding in the presence of GABA were quantified within the cerebellum, hippocampus and superior colliculus.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Zolpidem, an imidazopyridine derivative, is a chemically novel, non-benzodiazepine hypnotic agent. Many uraemic patients complain of sleep disorders and ask for hypnotic medication which is well tolerated both clinically and biologically in such patients. We studied the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of zolpidem in 12 end-stage renal patients regularly treated by hemodialysis three times a week. Zolpidem (10 mg) was given orally for 14 or 21 days. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluations were repeated at the end of the study on day 14 or day 21. Cmax, Tmax, t1/2 and the area under the curve were not modified in hemodialyzed patients. After daytime dosing, zolpidem induced the same level of sleepiness after the first and last dose and was well tolerated as a hypnotic agent after the night-time dosing. From these results, it can be said that zolpidem may be administered safely to patients with severe renal impairment without any modification of the dosage regimen.

Zinc-induced collapse of augmented inhibition by GABA in a temporal lobe epilepsy model.
Buhl EH, Otis TS, Mody I.
Anatomical Neuropharmacology Unit, Oxford University, UK.
In the kindling model of temporal lobe epilepsy, several physiological indicators of inhibition by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the hippocampal dentate gyrus are consistent with an augmented, rather than a diminished, inhibition. In brain slices obtained from epileptic (kindled) rats, the excitatory drive onto inhibitory interneurons was increased and was paralleled by a reduction in the presynaptic autoinhibition of GABA release. This augmented inhibition was sensitive to zinc most likely after a molecular reorganization of GABAA receptor subunits. Consequently, during seizures, inhibition by GABA may be diminished by the zinc released from aberrantly sprouted mossy fiber terminals of granule cells, which are found in many experimental models of epilepsy and in human temporal lobe epilepsy.

Oxidative metabolism of zolpidem by human liver cytochrome P450S.

The aim of this study was to identify the form(s) of cytochrome P450 (CYP) responsible for the biotransformation of zolpidem to its alcohol derivatives which, after rapid conversion to carboxylic acids, represents the main way of metabolism in humans. In human liver microsomes, zolpidem was converted to alcohol derivatives. Production of these correlated with the level of CYP3A4 and with cyclosporin oxidation and erythromycin N-demethylation activities, but not with the level of CYP1A2 nor with ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation or S-mephenytoin 4'-hydroxylation activities. Liver microsomes from CYP2D6-deficient patients exhibited normal activity. Production of alcohol derivatives was significantly inhibited by anti-CYP3A antibodies and by ketoconazole. Antibodies directed against other CYP forms (including CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B4, and CYP2C8), and CYP-specific substrates or inhibitors (including propranolol, coumarin, mephenytoin, sulfaphenazole, quinidine, aniline, and lauric acid) produced a moderate or no inhibitory effect. cDNA-expressed CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 generated significant amounts of one of the alcohol derivatives, whereas CYP2D6 generated both of them in similar amounts. In human hepatocytes in primary culture, zolpidem was extensively and almost exclusively converted to one of the carboxylic acid derivatives, the main species identified in vivo. Treatment of cells with inducers of CYP1A (beta-naphthoflavone) and CYP3A (rifampicin and phenobarbital) greatly increased the rate of production of this metabolite. We conclude that the formation of alcohol derivatives of zolpidem is rate-limiting and principally mediated by CYP3A4. Both CYP1A2 and CYP2D6 participate in alcohol formation; but, because of their low relative level of expression in the human liver, their contribution is minor.
