    Abstract:
    Injected i.v. into baboons, Ro 15-1788 (a benzodiazepine antagonist) and propyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate did not modify either the behavior or the electroencephalogram at doses up to 2 mg/kg. Methyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate is a potent convulsant at doses of 20 micrograms/kg in photosensitive baboons and 100 micrograms/kg in non-photosensitive baboons. These convulsive doses of methyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate are effectively antagonized by 0.5 mg/kg of Ro 15-1788 and also by 2 mg/kg of propyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate.
