Ro15-4513, imidazobenzodiazepinone derivative, is a partial inverse agonist of benzodiazepine receptor (BZR). Ro15-4513 is a potent ethanol antagonist. Ro15-4513 has anti-anxiety effect.

Ro15-4513 usually acts as a partial inverse agonist at GABA_A receptors, except an agonist for α4 and α6 subunit-containing ones.

Ro 15-4513 (i.p.; 3 mg/kg; 10 min before being tested) completely inhibits the ethanol-induced (1.8 g/kg) reduction in total locomotor activity and partly the reduction in rearing.
Ro 15-4513 (i.p.; 3 mg/kg; 15 min before administration of 1.5 g/kg ethanol) reverses ethanol-induced sedation in GABA_A receptor δ subunit-deficient mice.
