title: Potency of several type I-benzodiazepine receptor ligands for inhibition of [3H]flunitrazepam binding in different rat brain tissues.
abstract: The potency of several different non-selective and type I-benzodiazepine receptor-selective ligands as inhibitors of [3H]flunitrazepam binding was measured in different rat brain tissues. In contrast to the non-selective ligands, which had a similar potency in all brain tissues investigated, the potency of the type I-receptor-selective ligands was highest in cerebellar membranes and varied in other brain tissues.
