7-bromo-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one
Phenazepam is a long-acting benzodiazepine with anxiolytic, sedative, muscle relaxant, and anticonvulsant properties. It acts by enhancing GABAergic neurotransmission at the GABA-A receptor. Due to its potential for dependence, tolerance development, and severe side effects, it is classified as a high-risk substance. Its medical use primarily occurs in Russia, but it is not approved in many countries.

Receptor Profile
Der GABA-A-Rezeptor ist ein ligandengesteuerter Chloridkanal und der wichtigste inhibitorische Rezeptor im zentralen Nervensystem. Er besitzt multiple allosterische Bindungsstellen für verschiedene Substanzklassen.
Der 5-HT2A-Rezeptor ist ein Serotonin-Rezeptor der Klasse Gq-gekoppelter GPCRs. Er ist der primäre molekulare Angriffspunkt klassischer Psychedelika und spielt eine Rolle bei Kognition und Wahrnehmung.
Der 5-HT1A-Rezeptor ist ein Gi/Go-gekoppelter Serotoninrezeptor, der als Autorezeptor auf serotonergen Neuronen und als Heterorezeptor in verschiedenen Hirnregionen vorkommt. Er moduliert Angst, Stimmung und Kognition.
Der D2-Rezeptor ist ein Gi-gekoppelter Dopaminrezeptor mit hoher Dichte im Striatum. Er ist ein wichtiges Ziel für Antipsychotika und moduliert motorische Funktionen sowie Belohnungsverarbeitung.
Der Dopamintransporter (DAT) ist ein Natrium-abhängiger Monoamintransporter, der Dopamin aus dem synaptischen Spalt entfernt. Er ist ein zentrales Ziel von Stimulants und spielt eine Schlüsselrolle im Belohnungssystem.
