Site specific binding pattern of benzodiazepines with GABAA receptor and related impact on their activities in the human body: An in silico method based study

Despite of being the drugs of the same therapeutic class (Benzodiazepines), each of them shows different actions prominently. It is commonly seen that Bromazepam, Clonazepam, and, Alprazolam are prescribed for the treatment of anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and phobias. On the other hand, Midazolam, Temazepam, Flurazepam, and Nitrazepam are indicated for the treatment of insomnia and Lorazepam is considered as a drug having anticonvulsant effects. As the mechanism of action is the same, there should be some differences in the binding patterns with the proteins that create differences in their impacts on the body. A deep screening of the binding patterns of the available Benzodiazepines in the market to the GABA
