Product Name:
Flurazepam
CAS Number:
17617-23-1
Indication:
For short-term and intermittent use in patients with recurring insomnia and poor sleeping habits
Mode of Action:

Flurazepam binds to an allosteric site on GABA-A receptors. Binding potentiates the action of GABA on GABA-A receptors by opening the chloride channel within the receptor, causing chloride influx and hyperpolarization.

Pharmacodynamics:

Flurazepam, a benzodiazepine derivative, is a hypnotic agent which does not appear to decrease dream time as measured by rapid eye movements (REM). Furthermore, it decreases sleep latency and number of awakenings for a consequent increase in total sleep time.

Metabolism:

Flurazepam is rapidly metabolized and is excreted primarily in the urine. Both hydroxyethyl flurazepam (the major metabolite) and N-desalkyl flurazepam are active. The N-desalkyl metabolite is slowly excreted in the urine as the conjugated form

Toxicity:

Coma, confusion, low blood pressure, sleepiness
