Alprazolam is a positive allosteric modulator of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptor.
When it binds to the receptor, effects of GABA are enhanced leading to inhibition of neurones in the brain.
This results in effects including reduced anxiety, muscle relaxant, antidepressant and anticonvulsant activity.
The activity of alprazolam in the central nervous system is dose dependent.
