Description

General description

Meprobamate is marketed as an anti-anxiety drug and muscle relaxant under the trade names Milltown, Meprospan, and Equanil. This Certified Spiking Solution^® is suitable for GC/MS or LC/MS testing applications in forensic analysis, clinical toxicology, urine drug testing, or pain prescription monitoring.

Application

• Meprobamate solution for neurotransmitter research: Meprobamate is investigated for its impact on the uptake and translocation of pharmaceutical compounds by vegetables, providing insights into environmental interactions and bioaccumulation potential. This research is valuable for understanding how sedative compounds like meprobamate interact with biological systems beyond their primary pharmacological targets (Wu et al., 2013).


• High-purity meprobamate for in vitro studies: The CNS activities of various plant extracts, including their interaction with CNS depressants like meprobamate, are studied to assess potential synergistic effects and therapeutic applications. Such research is crucial for pharmaceutical and neurological studies, providing a basis for developing new therapeutic strategies (Pal and Samanta, 2011).


• Meprobamate as an anxiolytic agent in pharmacological research: Investigations into the CNS depressant activities of different plant roots highlight the importance of meprobamate as a comparative standard in pharmacological research. These studies are essential for validating the efficacy and safety of new anxiolytic candidates (Pal et al., 2011).


• Meprobamate solution for GABA receptor assay: The evaluation of CNS activities of various natural extracts in comparison with known CNS depressants like meprobamate offers valuable data on their mechanisms of action, particularly concerning GABAergic activity. This research supports the use of meprobamate as a benchmark in neuropharmacological assays (Pal et al., 2009).


• Meprobamate research compound for biochemistry labs: Studies on the CNS effects of botanical extracts using meprobamate as a reference drug help delineate the pathways involved in CNS depression and provide a pharmacological basis for the use of these plants in traditional medicine. This kind of research underpins the development of novel anxiolytic drugs derived from natural sources (Pal, 2008).
