Introduction Since the introduction of Librium in I9601 andthe subsequent discovery in 1977* 12-3 4567** of its mode of action via the-aminobutyric acid (GABA)/benzodiazepine receptor (BzR) system, the benzodiazepines have enjoyed wide-spread use rivaled by few other classes of compounds. Benzodiazepine agonists effect a variety of pharmacological actions, but are far less toxic than, for example, barbiturates. Benzodiazepine receptor ligands produce their pharmacological effects by modulating the gating action of GABA on neuronal chloride ion channels which have recently been shown to be constituted by at least three distinct proteins (, ß,). 4-9 Previously, a tetrameric protein channel lumen had been proposed (2 2ß); however,
