Descrizione

General description

Alprazolam is a triazole-containing benzodiazepine that is related to diazepam and other 1,4-benxodiazepines. Like other benzodiazepines, Alprazolam is a GABAergic agonist that modulates GABA_A receptors. GABA_A receptors in the central nervous system are ligand-gated ion channels that are bound by the stimulatory neurotransmitter GABA; binding of this ligand allows ion movement through the channel and results in neurotransmission inhibition.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Alprazolam binds the GABA_A receptor at the benzodiazepine site, which is different than the ligand-binding site at which GABA binds. Alprazolam has been shown to be an anxiolytic (anti-anxiety agent) as well as having anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant and antidepressant activity.[1]
