Imidazopyridine

<p>An imidazopyridine is a nitrogen containing <a href="/facts/Heterocycle/8oYSjJxY">heterocycle</a> that is also a class of <a href="/facts/Medication/h9mhwWP2">drugs</a> that contain this same chemical substructure. In general, they are <a href="/facts/GABAA_receptor/6G4rAGb3">GABAA receptor</a> <a href="/facts/Receptor_agonist/nz8U5NNp">agonists</a>, however recently <a href="/facts/Proton_pump_inhibitors/JIpwabbk">proton pump inhibitors</a>, <a href="/facts/Aromatase_inhibitor/G1LhNlsh">aromatase inhibitors</a>, <a href="/facts/NSAID/coIkzl4s">NSAIDs</a> and other classes of drugs in this class have been developed as well. Despite usually being similar to them in effect, they are not chemically related to benzodiazepines. As such, GABAA-agonizing imidazopyridines, <a href="/facts/Pyrazolopyrimidine/HSBjjkvm">pyrazolopyrimidines</a>, and <a href="/facts/Cyclopyrrone/7PGq7rlg">cyclopyrrones</a> are sometimes grouped together and referred to as "<a href="/facts/Nonbenzodiazepine/cXPFEcM8">nonbenzodiazepines</a>." Imidazopyridines include:
