Its N-dimethyl is inserted into subpocket 1 of the binding cavity with aromatic amino acid residues Phe-170, Trp-243, and Phe-244. In this <scene name='90/904328/Ziz_pt_2/1'>cavity</scene>, N-dimethyl group on the ligand makes ion pairs with Asp-184 and Glu-164. The ligand is then stabilized by stacking its ring with Trp-248 and the Cys-168 to Cys-180 disulfide bond <ref name="Yang">Yang, Fan, et al.
