NCIt definition : An imidazo-benzodiazepine derivative, effective in reversing benzodiazepine-induced
activities. Flumazenil antagonizes the benzodiazepine binding site of the gamma-aminobutyric
acid (GABA)/benzodiazepine receptor complex in the central nervous system (CNS), thereby
preventing the chloride channel opening events and inhibiting neuronal hyperpolarization.
As a result, flumazenil reverses benzodiazepine-induced effects including sedation,
psychomotor deficits, amnesia, and hypoventilation in a dose-dependent manner.;
