How Zendra works
clomethiazole interacts with the GABAA receptor complex. It inhibits the binding of [35S]butyl-bicyclophosphorothionate (TBPS), an effect indicative of GABAA receptor-channel activation, by increasing the rate of [35S]TBPS dissociation and decreasing the binding affinity. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), acting at GABAA receptors, is the main fast inhibitory neurotransmitter in mammalian central nervous system
