What are benzodiazepines? - CORRECT ANSWER-A class of drugs
used for anxiety and other purposes.
What are the uses of benzodiazepines? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Sedation, hypnosis, muscle relaxation, anxiolysis, anticonvulsant,
amnesia, insomnia, alcohol withdrawal.
What is the structure of benzodiazepines? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Benzodiazepine ring with 2 nitrogen atoms at positions 1 & 4, phenyl
group at position 5, and an electronegative group at position 7.
How do benzodiazepines work? - CORRECT ANSWER-They promote
the binding of GABA to the GABAA receptor, enhancing GABA-induced
chloride currents and inhibiting neuronal cell excitation.
,How are benzodiazepines metabolized? - CORRECT ANSWER-They
are oxidized in the liver via CYP enzymes, primarily CYP3A4.
What are the active metabolites of benzodiazepines? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Diazepam (with a half-life exceeding 100 hours) and
midazolam (rapidly metabolized to an α-hydroxylated compound with
biologic activity).
Which benzodiazepines have no active metabolites? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Oxazepam, lorazepam, and temazepam.
What factors can alter the metabolism of benzodiazepines? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Disease and age.
What is the duration of action of benzodiazepines primarily
determined by? - CORRECT ANSWER-The α phase (distribution-
redistribution from CNS) dynamics rather than the rate of elimination.
What are the pharmacodynamic effects of benzodiazepines on the
CNS? - CORRECT ANSWER-CNS depressant effects including
anxiolysis, sedation, sleep, anticonvulsant, amnesia, muscle relaxation,
and inhibition of alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
, What effect do high doses of benzodiazepines have on CMR02 & CBF?
- CORRECT ANSWER-They reduce CMR02 & CBF.
What effect do benzodiazepines have on the threshold to local
anesthetic-induced seizures? - CORRECT ANSWER-They increase
the threshold to local anesthetic-induced seizures.
What is the dose-related effect of benzodiazepines on anterograde
amnesia? - CORRECT ANSWER-They cause anterograde amnesia at
high doses.
What are the potential drawbacks of benzodiazepine use? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Awareness regarding addiction, withdrawal, recreational
abuse, and the development of other drug classes has led to a decline
in their use.
Which CYP enzyme is primarily responsible for the metabolism of
benzodiazepines? - CORRECT ANSWER-CYP3A4.
Which benzodiazepine has a half-life exceeding 100 hours? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Diazepam.
Which benzodiazepine is rapidly metabolized to an α-hydroxylated
compound with biologic activity? - CORRECT ANSWER-Midazolam.
