Roles Classification
Chemical Roles:
Bronsted base  A molecular entity capable of accepting a hydron from a donor (Brønsted acid).
Bronsted acid  A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Brønsted base).
Biological Role:
GABA agonist  A drug that binds to and activates γ-aminobutyric acid receptors.
Applications:
muscle relaxant  A drug used to produce muscle relaxation (excepting neuromuscular blocking agents). Its primary clinical and therapeutic use is the treatment of muscle spasm and immobility associated with strains, sprains, and injuries of the back and, to a lesser degree, injuries to the neck. Also used for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions that have in common only the presence of skeletal muscle hyperactivity, for example, the muscle spasms that can occur in multiple sclerosis.
GABA agonist  A drug that binds to and activates γ-aminobutyric acid receptors.
central nervous system depressant  A loosely defined group of drugs that tend to reduce the activity of the central nervous system.
