General description

Flurazepam is a benzodiazepine, sold under the trade names Dalmane and Salmadorm for treament of mild to moderate insomnia. This analytical reference standard is suitable for many LC/MS or GC/MS applications from urine drug testing and clinical toxicology to forensic toxicology analysis.

Application


  • Flurazepam in Sleep Research: Flurazepam, a benzodiazepine receptor agonist, is used in sleep epidemiology to explore its effects on sleep patterns and quality. This sedative-hypnotic is evaluated for its potential to improve sleep among various populations, contributing valuable insights into sleep medicine (Fernandez-Mendoza et al., 2024).

  • Pharmacology and GABA Receptors: Studies involving Flurazepam help elucidate its mechanism as a GABAergic compound, particularly in the context of its interaction with GABA(A) receptors. This research is foundational in neuropharmacology, providing deeper understanding of how benzodiazepines modulate neuronal activity and contribute to their therapeutic and side effects (Sun et al., 2023).

Pharmacoepidemiology investigates associations between time-varying medication use/dose and risk of adverse events. Applied research typically relies on a priori chosen simple conventional models, such as current dose or any use in the past 3 months. However, different models imply different risk

Although the functional effects of benzodiazepines (BZDs) on GABA(A) receptors have been well characterized, the structural mechanism by which these modulators alter activation of the receptor by GABA is still undefined. We used disulphide trapping between engineered cysteines to probe

Cessation of one-week oral administration of the benzodiazepine flurazepam (FZP) to rats results in withdrawal anxiety after 1 day of withdrawal. FZP withdrawal is correlated with synaptic incorporation of homomeric GluA1-containing α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid receptors (AMPARs) in the proximal stratum radiatum
