NCIt definition : A benzodiazepine derivative with anti-anxiety, sedative, hypnotic and anticonvulsant
properties. Diazepam potentiates the inhibitory activities of gamma-aminobutyric acid
(GABA) by binding to the GABA receptor, located in the limbic system and the hypothalamus.
This increases the frequency of chloride channel opening, allowing the flow of chloride
ions into the neuron and ultimately leading to membrane hyperpolarization and a decrease
in neuronal excitability.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A drug used to treat mild to moderate anxiety and tension and to relax
muscles. It is a type of benzodiazepine.;
