Description

2,5-Dichloro-1,3-benzoxazole is a halogenated heterocyclic compound that has been shown to have inhibitory activity in several biological assays. It binds to the phenyl group of the GABAA receptor and blocks chloride ion channels, which leads to increased neuronal excitability. 2,5-Dichloro-1,3-benzoxazole has been shown to be an antagonist of the GABAA receptor and can be used as a potential treatment for insomnia. This drug's chiral nature means it can be used in pharmaceuticals as either its right or left enantiomer.
