Physical dependence was rapidly induced in mice by administering diazepam intraperitoneally twice daily using an incremental dosing regimen (50 to 450 mg/kg) for nine consecutive days. Withdrawal was induced (24 hr after the last dose) by administration of a benzodiazepine antagonist, RO-15-1788 (10 mg/kg, IP). All of the mice exhibited clear-cut withdrawal symptoms (i.e., convulsions) within minutes of antagonist treatment. This method offers a simple, reliable, high throughput procedure for the assessment of benzodiazepine-like physical dependence liability and withdrawal, and it would be useful for screening purposes.
