Work

The medication has a high affinity for the benzodiazepine binding site in the brain. It facilitates the inhibitory neurotransmitter action of gamma-aminobutyric acid, which mediates both pre- and post-synaptic inhibition in the central nervous system (CNS). It also works on adenylate cyclase and the blocking of a cAMP signal transduction pathway, after binding to melatonin receptor type 1A. This drug triggers phospholipase C.
