muscle relaxation, anxiolysis, anticonvulsant, amnesia, insomnia, alcohol
withdrawal.

ring with 2 nitrogen atoms at positions 1 & 4, phenyl group at position 5,
and an electronegative group at position 7.
, 31.How do benzodiazepines work? - ANSWER ✔ They promote the binding of
GABA to the GABAA receptor, enhancing GABA-induced chloride currents

withdrawal symptoms.
