Ro5-4864[1] (4'-chlorodiazepam) is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative of diazepam.[2] However unlike most benzodiazepine derivatives, Ro5-4864 lacks affinity for GABAA receptors and lacks typical benzodiazepine effects,[3] instead being sedative yet also convulsant and anxiogenic in effects.[4][5][6][7] Ro5-4864 was found to be a potent ligand for the "peripheral benzodiazepine receptor",[8] later renamed to mitochondrial translocator protein 18kDa (TSPO). Despite its convulsant effects, at lower doses Ro5-4864 has proved to be neuroprotective and has become widely used for research into the role of the TSPO protein in neurotoxicity.[9][10][11][12][13][14] In vitro studies and rodent models also suggest the possibility of analgesic,[15] antidepressant,[16] cardioprotective,[17] and anti-cancer effects.[18][19][20][21][non-primary source needed]
