The opioid benzodiazepine, tifluadom, and the benzodiazepine tranquilizer, diazepam, were compared for their influence on morphine and scopolamine-induced locomotor stimulation in mice. Diazepam enhanced drug-induced hyperactivity, while tifluadom had no effect or reduced locomotor activity. The results demonstrate that tifluadom, a benzodiazepine compound possessing opiate-like analgesic properties, is devoid of either benzodiazepine or morphine-like effects in activity tests.
