| Clorazepate |
Clorazepate is a benzodiazepine with anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic, and anticonvulsant properties. Clorazepate exerts its effect by de-activating the nervous system through potentiation of the inhibitory effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on the GABA-A receptors by binding to a site that is distinct from the GABA binding site. |
