What is The Interactions of Ethanol with Single and Repeated Doses of Suriclone and Diazepam on Physiological and Psychomotor Functions in Normal Subjects about?
The effects of diazepam (5 mg t.i.d.), suriclone (0.2 and 0.4 mg t.i.d.) and placebo (t.i.d.) were assessed in 12 normal, healthy volunteer subjects after a single dose and after treatment for a period of 8 days. A battery of physiological, psychomotor and subjective tests was administered on days 1 and 8 both before and after drug and after a measured dose of ethanol. The effects of diazepam on the EEG were characteristic of benzodiazepines-a decrease in the slow frequency wave-bands, an increase in fast frequency wave-band and diminished evoked response amplitude. Suriclone had similar effects on fast frequency activity and evoked response amplitude but, in contrast to diazepam, also increased the slow frequency wave-bands after 7 days treatment. Some improvements in performance were seen with suriclone on critical flicker fusion, tapping speed, spiral maze and digit cancellation. In contrast, suriclone impaired performance to a greater extent than diazepam on digit symbol substitution and symbol copying. Body sway was also enhanced by suriclone to a greater extent than diazepam. Subjective ratings for mood and adverse-effects showed few differences between suriclone or diazepam.
