Journal: Benzodiazepines Drive Alteration of Chromatin at the Integrated HIV-1 LTR. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 20, 2021 Prior work has demonstrated that inhibition of RUNX1 by the benzodiazepine (BDZ) Ro5-3335 synergizes with suberanilohydroxamic acid (SAHA) to activate HIV-1 transcription...We also screened other BDZs for their ability to regulate HIV-1 transcription and demonstrate their ability to increase transcription and alter chromatin at the LTR without negatively affecting Tat activity. These findings shed further light on the mechanism by which RUNX proteins control HIV-1 transcription and suggest that BDZ compounds might be useful in activating HIV-1 transcription through STAT5 recruitment to the HIV-1 LTR.

Preclinical, Journal: Pharmacological Characteristics of Anxiolytics on Acetylcholine-Induced Contractions in Rat Detrusor Smooth Muscle. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 7, 2021 These findings suggest that most clinically used anxiolytics are not likely to result in anticholinergic-induced urination disorders within their clinically achievable blood concentration ranges. However, clotiazepam and diazepam may induce urination disorders within their clinical dose ranges via nonanticholinergic inhibition of DSM contractility.

Journal: Detailed quantum mechanical studies on bioactive benzodiazepine derivatives and their adsorption over graphene sheets. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 3, 2021 Estazolam (Z1) and related derivatives, adinazolam (Z2), alprazolam (Z3), 4-hydroxyalprazolam (Z4) and triazolam (Z5) have been studied by using various computational tools to analyze their geometry and spectral characteristics...It can be seen that the highest interaction energy has been obtained in the case of the Z5-graphene system, while the lowest interaction energy has been obtained in the case of the Z1-graphene system. Docking indicates that the ligands adsorbed over graphene also form stable complexes with the receptors as indicated by the high binding affinity energy values.

Journal: Post-mortem Redistribution of Alprazolam in Rats. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 29, 2021 The median amount of alprazolam deposited in the lungs was relatively stable over the 24-h post-mortem period, while in heart, liver and kidney the deposited proportion of administered dose increased by 43-48% in comparison with ante-mortem values indicating continuous accumulation of alprazolam into these tissues. These results provide evidence needed for the interpretation of toxicological results in alprazolam-related fatalities and demonstrate modest alprazolam post-mortem redistribution.

There was little or no difference in anxiety when melatonin was compared with benzodiazepines. Thus, melatonin may have a similar effect to benzodiazepines in reducing preoperative and postoperative anxiety in adults.

With scarce work in this area, we hope to help address the current opioid crisis from this perspective and inspire future research in the critical area of drug safety.

Clinical, Journal: A Comparative Study on the Use of Alprazolam and Melatonin for Sleep Disturbances in Hemodialysis Patients. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 7, 2021 About 54% of the alprazolam using hemodialysis patients had moderate insomnia while 50% of the melatonin using patients had sub-threshold insomnia (p=0.062). Conclusion As melatonin use has shown better sleep quality and less insomnia severity as compared to alprazolam use in our study, it is postulated that the sleep-wake cycle should be commonly targeted by pharmacological therapy in ESRD.

Clinical, PK/PD data, Journal: Pharmacokinetic interactions of a hop dietary supplement with drug metabolism in peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 6, 2021 Sixteen peri- and postmenopausal women consumed the hop extract twice daily for 2 weeks, and the pharmacokinetics of tolbutamide, caffeine, dextromethorphan, and alprazolam were evaluated before and after supplementation as probe substrates for the enzymes CYP2C9, CYP1A2, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4/5, respectively...Serum obtained after consumption of the hop extract was analyzed using UHPLC-MS/MS to confirm compliance. Abundant Phase II conjugates of the hop prenylated phenols were observed including monoglucuronides and monosulfates as well as previously unreported diglucuronides and sulfate-glucuronic acid diconjugates.

Best safety practices involve initiating gabapentinoids at the lowest dose and providing education to patients to recognize signs and symptoms of respiratory distress and side effects such as feelings of confusion or disorientation, somnolence, slowed, shallow, or difficulty breathing, and unresponsiveness.

[VIRTUAL] Diagnosing benzodiazepine-induced photosensitivity () - Dec 26, 2020 - Abstract #ASHP2020ASHP_3166; False negatives occur with photopatch testing; thus, oral photoprovocation may be superior to photopatch testing in diagnosing photosensitivity as it involves systemic administration of benzodiazepines. False negatives could potentially occur if the follow-up duration is too short, as a skin reaction from oral photoprovocation testing may take up to 2 weeks to develop.

[VIRTUAL] Impact of sleep aid reduction strategies across a multi-hospital health system () - Dec 26, 2020 - Abstract #ASHP2020ASHP_2196; The electronic medical record system will identify patients prescribed temazepam, alprazolam, lorazepam, zolpidem, diphenhydramine, trazodone, or doxepin (low dose) for insomnia during their admission at South Florida Baptist Hospital between April 2019 and October 2020...This data will be reviewed by clinical pharmacy personnel and health system leadership to determine whether medication-induced fall rates have decreased since initial evaluation one year ago. Results from the analysis will provide future direction to improving the utilization of sleep aid medications for our health system.
