The GABAA Receptor as Target for Novel Heterocyclic Compounds
Ligands for the benzodiazepine-binding site of the GABAA receptor can belong to structurally diverse classes of compounds including, in spite of the name of the binding site, many non-benzodiazepine structures. The GABAA receptor is a ligand-gated ion channel assembled of five subunits from eight different classes with multiple isoforms. The physiological effect elicited by benzodiazepines is beli
