3-hydroxymethyl-beta-carboline antagonizes some pharmacologic actions of diazepam.
P Skolinick et al.
European journal of pharmacology, 69(4), 525-527 (1981-02-19)
Do benzodiazepine receptors play a role in sleep regulation? Studies with the benzodiazepine antagonist, 3-hydroxymethyl-beta-carboline (3-HMC).
W B Mendelson et al.
Progress in clinical and biological research, 90, 253-261 (1982-01-01)

The benzodiazepine receptor antagonist 3-hydroxymethyl-beta-carboline, which blocks several of the pharmacological actions of benzodiazepines, induces a dose-dependent increase in sleep latency in the rat. Furthermore, at a low dose that by itself does not affect sleep, 3-hydroxymethyl-beta-carboline blocks sleep induction
W B Mendelson
Psychiatric developments, 2(3), 161-177 (1984-01-01)
The discovery of high affinity, stereoselective binding sites for benzodiazepines (BZ) was a major step in understanding the molecular mechanism by which these widely used sedative/hypnotics exert their various pharmacologic effects. It has become clear that the BZ receptor complex
