Molecular Docking studies of Benzodiazepine Derivatives With GABA(B) Receptor
Abstract: Benzodiazepines (BZDs) are pharmacologically significant compounds that act by binding to GABA A neurotransmitter receptors, subsequently augmenting GABA-induced chloride ion flux, consequently inducing neuronal hyperpolarization. Benzodiazepines are commonly used in the treatment of sleep disorders, anxiety, muscle spasms, seizure disorders, and some forms of depression. The primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA, functions on two types of receptors: the ligand-gated GABA A/C receptors and the G protein-coupled GABA B receptors. These neurotransmitters …
