CGP11952 (CGP 11952) is a triazolyl-Benzaphenon resembling the benzodiazepines in its pharmacological action[1]. The effects of CGP11952 (CGP 11.952), a triazolyl Benzophenone, on cognitive functioning are assessed by means of a computerized neuropsychological battery. In the first study CGP11952 turns out to have a positive effect on information processing speed, perceptual sensitivity and preciseness of responses. Negative effects are found on reaction time. In the second study this latter effect is less clear. A striking result is the less negative effect on memory consolidation under influence of CGP11952 in comparison with other benzodiazepines[2].
