5-(2-chlorophenyl)-7-nitro-1,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one
Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine that primarily acts by enhancing GABAergic inhibition in the central nervous system. It is mainly used for the treatment of epilepsy and panic disorders. The substance possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsive, and muscle relaxant properties. Due to its potential for dependence, its use should be carefully monitored.

Receptor Profile
Der GABA-A-Rezeptor ist ein ligandengesteuerter Chloridkanal und der wichtigste inhibitorische Rezeptor im zentralen Nervensystem. Er besitzt multiple allosterische Bindungsstellen für verschiedene Substanzklassen.
Synapedia Evidence
Clonazepam acts as an agonist at the GABA-A receptor, leading to increased inhibition of neuronal activity. This results in anxiolytic, sedative, and muscle relaxant effects.
