From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Pitrazepin is a GABAA receptor antagonist, which is a type of drug that inhibits the action of GABAA receptors. It is selective for the GABAA receptors that contain the α5 subunit. Pitrazepin is used in scientific research to help understand the function of GABAA receptors.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Pitrazepin acts as an antagonist at GABAA receptors, meaning it blocks the action of these receptors. It is selective for the GABAA receptors that contain the α5 subunit. This selectivity makes it a useful tool in scientific research to study the function of these specific GABAA receptors.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Pitrazepin is not used clinically, but it is used in scientific research. It is used to study the function of GABAA receptors, particularly those that contain the α5 subunit. By blocking the action of these receptors, researchers can better understand their role in the body.
