Pharmacological properties:
Alpha-casozepin acts directly on the brain and spinal cord through GABA receptors. These are the same receptors that benzodiazepines act on. Benzodiazepines are prescription tranquilizers. The effects of alpha-casozepine are dose dependent – higher doses were more effective in reducing anxiety than lower doses. In animal studies, the safety of alpha-casozepine was studied and found to be free of the side effects associated with benzodiazepines.
