L‐Quebrachitol Enhances Sedative Effect of Diazepam Through GABAergic Pathway: Animal and Computational Studies

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
L‐quebrachitol (LQL) significantly enhanced the sedative effects of diazepam in thiopental sodium‐induced chicks by reducing sleep latency and prolonging duration. Molecular docking revealed LQL's interaction with GABAA receptor (α1 and β2 subunits), supporting a GABAergic mechanism and highlighting its potential as a safe, natural sedative agent ...
