Synonym: 8-Chloro-1-methyl-6-phenyl-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]benzodiazepine

Description

Biochem/physiol Actions

Alprazolam binds the GABAA 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

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 GABAA receptors.2 GABAA 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.
