Abstract
This study aimed to characterize pharmacodynamic interaction between propofol and aminophylline. Nine beagle dogs were randomly allocated at the propofol rates of 0.75 (group A), 1.00 (group B), and 1.25 (group C) mg/kg/min. During period 1, propofol only was infused, while during period 2, aminophylline only, at the rate of 0.69 (group A), 1.37 (group B), and 2.62 (group C) mg/kg/h. During periods 3-5, the two drugs were co-administered. The aminophylline infusion rate was 0.69 (period 3), 1.37 (period 4), and 2.62 (period 5) mg/kg/h. The aminophylline was infused from 0 to 30 h, and the propofol was infused at 24 h for 20 min. Blood samples and electroencephalograms were obtained at preset intervals. In the linear regression between log-transformed doses of aminophylline and AUC inf, the slope was 0.6976 (95% CI 0.5242-0.8710). Pharmacokinetics of aminophylline was best described by a one-compartment, with enzyme auto-induction, model. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of propofol were best described by a three-compartment model and a sigmoid Emax model, respectively. Pharmacodynamic parameter estimates of propofol were: k(e0) = 0.805/min, E0 = 0.76, Emax = 0.398, Ce(50 na) = 2.38 μg/mL (without aminophylline-exposure), C(e50 wa) = 4.49 μg/mL (with aminophylline-exposure), and γ = 2.21. Propofol becomes less potent when exposed to aminophylline. Pharmacodynamic antagonistic interaction of aminophylline with propofol sedation, may occur, not in a dose-dependent manner, but in an all-or-none response.

Aminophylline reversal of prolonged postoperative sedation induced by propofol. J Anesth 2008; 22:86-8.

Abstract
Propofol is frequently used for intravenous sedation or anesthesia in ambulatory and office-based anesthesia. Although awakening is usually rapid, there are instances of delayed recovery from propofol anesthesia. It has been reported that aminophylline antagonizes the sedative effects of several anesthetic and analgesic drugs. The case reports presented here demonstrate that intravenous aminophylline effectively reversed prolonged propofol-induced sedation/anesthesia in the postoperative period. There were no side effects or delayed re-sedation after the administration of aminophylline. Our study suggests that aminophylline could be a clinically useful propofol antagonist.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the effect of two clinically available central nervous system stimulants, namely doxapram and aminophylline on arousal from sevoflurane anaesthesia and bispectral index. METHODS This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, prospective study was conducted in 90 adult females, ASA I-II, scheduled for elective lower abdominal surgeries at Taipei Medical University Hospital. At 5 min before the completion of surgery, under sevoflurane anaesthesia, patients were divided into three groups to receive doxapram 1 mg kg(-1), aminophylline 2 mg kg(-1) or saline placebo intravenous. Standard vital signs, end-tidal CO(2), end-expiratory sevoflurane concentration, bispectral index and neuromuscular blockade were measured plus clinical parameters of recovery from general anaesthesia. RESULTS Compared with the control group, patients receiving doxapram or aminophylline showed a similarly faster recovery from sevoflurane anaesthesia correlated with increase in bispectral index. CONCLUSION Intravenous administration of doxapram 1 mg kg(-1) or aminophylline 2 mg kg(-1) hastened the early recovery from sevoflurane anaesthesia. The arousal effect of aminophylline and doxapram appears to be similar.

Abstract
1. The effects of some anticonvulsant drugs against seizures induced by a combined treatment with aminophylline and quinolone in genetically epilepsy-prone rat have been investigated. 2. Animals were intraperitoneally pretreated with carbamazepine, diazepam, phenobarbital, CPPene and dizocilpine or saline and 15 min later administered orally with 51.86 mumol/kg b. wt of either cinoxacin or ciprofloxacin. 60 min after quinolones, rats received intraperitoneally aminophylline (100, 120, 140, 160 or 180 mg/kg b. wt). 3. Ciprofloxacin showed to be more effective than cinoxacin in potentiating the aminophylline convulsant effects. 4. Neither carbamazepine nor diazepam and phenobarbital, at the lowest dose used, elicited any effect in reducing the aminophylline-induced seizures in both cinoxacin- and ciprofloxacin-treated animals. Whereas, diazepam and phenobarbital when administered i.p. at 2.5 and 60 mg/kg b. wt respectively demonstrated protective properties. 5. CPPene and dizocilpine, two excitatory amino acid antagonists, were both very effective in antagonizing the seizures produced by concomitant treatment with cinoxacin or ciprofloxacin plus aminophylline. 6. The present results suggest an involvement of the excitatory amino acid receptors in mediating the seizures induced by the combined treatment with quinolones and aminophylline.

Abstract
Premedication is not essential to endoscopy but patient tolerance is clearly improved and, thus, ease of examination. Although comparable results can be achieved through nonpharmacologic means, the time and effort involved precludes their widespread use. Despite near universal utilization of premedication in endoscopy, the associated risk is difficult to determine from the available literature. The reported data reveal nominal risk yet must be viewed as minimums. The ideal drug with predictable clinical effects, minimal postprocedure impairment, little respiratory compromise, and proven antagonist is not yet available. Although midazolam seems to represent an advance, recent emphasis on respiratory depression is particularly troublesome. Studies evaluating various agents have suffered from lack of quantitation of such parameters as patient tolerance, ease of examination, and postprocedure impairment. Development of proven standards for these parameters would have to occur before a definitive double-blind randomized trial could be undertaken. Suggested means of assessing these parameters are listed in Table I. Improvement in major morbidity would be difficult in light of its low incidence. As the search for the ideal drug continues, endoscopists must continue to use drugs whose full effects are incompletely understood. The ability to increase patient comfort must be balanced with the small, but ever present, risk of morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Epileptic seizures and hallucinations, which are rare in patients receiving quinolones, have been observed more frequently in patients receiving both quinolones and either theophylline or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Inhibition of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binding to the GABA receptor, resulting in general excitation of the central nervous system, may be the underlying mechanism of these adverse phenomena. We demonstrate here that ciprofloxacin displaced a GABA-like substance (muscimol) from the GABA receptor when administered in concentrations of greater than 10(-4) M. These concentrations were lower than those needed by pefloxacin, ofloxacin, and nalidixic acid to reach a concentration that inhibits 50% of binding. The combination of ciprofloxacin and theophylline was additive in reducing the level of muscimol binding to the GABA receptor, whereas a diclofenac-ciprofloxacin combination had no effect. The concentrations of both ciprofloxacin and the other quinolones used were much higher than those observed in human serum and cerebrospinal fluid in a clinical setting; however, different human GABA receptor affinities, preexisting GABA excitation, or underlying central nervous system disease may amplify the excitatory side effects observed by the co-administration of quinolones and theophylline. Attention should be paid to the possible epileptogenic activity of the simultaneous administration of quinolones with aminophylline, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or other unpredictable drugs.

Abstract
The effect of diazepam on ventricular automaticity induced by a local injury was investigated in the isolated right ventricle of the rat in the presence of the diazepam central antagonist, RO 15-1788, and of the adenosine antagonist, theophylline. Theophylline but not RO 15-1788 antagonized the inhibitory effect induced by diazepam on ventricular automaticity. The inhibitory effect of adenosine but not that of 2-chloroadenosine was potentiated in the presence of diazepam. The results suggest that the inhibitory effect of diazepam on ventricular automaticity results from the inhibition of adenosine uptake.

Abstract
1. Evidence is presented which indicates that the central actions of the benzodiazepines cannot be fully accounted for by assuming an action only at the GABAA-Cl- channel supramolecular complex. 2. The hypothesis is presented, together with supporting evidence, that inhibition of adenosine uptake can account for many of the actions of the benzodiazepines. 3. New findings showing that Ro 15-1788 and Ro 5-4864 have both potentiative and antagonistic interactions with adenosine are discussed. 4. The proconvulsant beta-carbolines are shown to be adenosine antagonists. 5. The concept that benzodiazepine action may involve several mechanisms is presented.

Abstract
Thirteen substances previously reported to antagonize the electrophysiological effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on neurons also reversed the inhibitory effects of GABA on specific [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate ([35S]TBPS) binding to sites on rat brain membranes in vitro with a rank-order of potencies similar to those found in electrophysiological systems (R 5135 greater than pitrazepin greater than bicuculline greater than SR 95103 greater than securinine) confirming the earlier conclusion that GABA inhibits [35S]TBPS binding by acting allosterically on physiologically relevant GABAA receptors. Pitrazepin is the most potent of a series of mono N-aryl piperazines that block GABAA receptors. The new aryl amino pyridazine GABA derivative SR 95531 was about 3-fold more potent than bicuculline and 39-fold more potent than the structurally related SR 95103. Four known GABA antagonists have the same rank orders of potencies as convulsants and as reversers of GABA's inhibitory action on [35S]TBPS binding (bicuculline greater than securinine greater than theophylline greater than caffeine). Reversal of GABA-induced suppression of [35S]TBPS binding provides a simple method for further characterizing GABAA receptors linked to TBPS binding sites, and facilitates identification of convulsants and novel, perhaps selective, GABA antagonists.

Abstract
The effects of Ro 15-1788, a benzodiazepine antagonist with some agonist properties, were studied on adenosine and adenosine 5'-N-ethyl-carboxamide (NECA)-evoked depressions of rat cerebral cortical neuronal activity. Iontophoretically applied Ro 15-1788 had both antagonistic and potentiative interactions with adenosine. Reductions in the magnitude of adenosine-evoked depressions of firing were evident during the period of Ro 15-1788 application, with a long-lasting potentiative effect becoming apparent upon termination of the Ro 15-1788 application. Depressions of cell firing evoked by NECA, an uptake-resistant analog of adenosine, were antagonized by Ro 15-1788, with no subsequent potentiation. Larger applications of Ro 15-1788 had a depressant action on neuronal firing, which was antagonized by caffeine (20 mg/kg), an adenosine receptor blocker. These results indicate that Ro 15-1788 may be an antagonist at the adenosine receptor as well as a potentiator of the adenosine response. The prolongation of the adenosine depression is likely to be the result of a persistent inhibition of adenosine uptake by Ro 15-1788. These diverse effects on the adenosine response may account for some of the complex behavioral actions of Ro 15-1788.

Abstract
The question whether the benzodiazepine receptor site in astrocytes or in neurons might be identical to the adenosine uptake site was studied by determining pharmacological profiles, inhibition types, and the effects of benzodiazepine antagonists in primary cultures of either astrocytes or neurons. Fourteen different benzodiazepines and five different adenosine uptake inhibitors displaced [3H] diazepam and inhibited adenosine uptake in both astrocytes and neurons. However, the rank orders (determined as IC50 values) with which these two parameters were affected were profoundly different, indicating dissimilarities between these two sites. For several of the compounds a difference in inhibition type (competitive vs. noncompetitive) was observed between the benzodiazepine-binding site and the adenosine uptake site in astrocytes and/or neurons, which further corroborated the conclusion of a difference between the benzodiazepine-binding site and the adenosine uptake site. Finally, the neuronal benzodiazepine antagonists RO 15-1788 and CGS-8216 and the astrocytic benzodiazepine antagonist PK 11195, which reverse the action of benzodiazepines, were not able to reverse inhibition of adenosine uptake by diazepam but exerted an inhibitory effect of their own.
