General description

Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine drug used for the medical treatment of anxiety and panic disorders, including generalized or social anxiety disorder. This certified reference standard is suitable for use in a wide variety of LC/MS or GC/MS testing applications from forensic analysis and clinical toxicology to urine drug testing and pain prescription monitoring. Alprazolam is sold under the trade name Xanax®.

Application


  • Alprazolam Solid Lipid Nanoparticles for Sustained Release: This study explores the development of Compritol-based Alprazolam solid lipid nanoparticles, demonstrating a novel approach for sustained release formulations in benzodiazepine biochemistry. The technique is critical for improving the pharmacokinetics of anxiolytic compounds, ensuring controlled release and enhanced bioavailability (Rao et al., 2022).

  • Extraction of Alprazolam in Biological Samples: Application of dispersive solid-phase extraction using nanographene oxide grafted with α-pyridylamine for alprazolam, which is significant for forensic and clinical toxicology. This method enhances the precision of benzodiazepine detection in complex biological matrices, pivotal for neuropharmacological studies (Parsayi Arvand et al., 2023).

  • Raman Spectroscopy in Drug Abuse Analysis: Utilization of portable Raman spectroscopy for the detection of drugs of abuse, including Alprazolam. This research underscores the importance of Alprazolam research solutions in developing rapid and non-destructive testing methods, contributing to advancements in forensic science (Santos et al., 2022).
