title: Substituted 3-(2-benzoxazyl)-benzimidazol-2-(1H)-ones: a new class of GABA(A) brain receptor ligands.
abstract: A novel class of potent benzodiazepine receptor (BZR) ligands has been designed and synthesized aided by molecular modeling of known benzodiazepine ligands such as CGS-8216 and the use of known pharmacophore models.
