Adinazolam (Deracyn®) is a benzodiazepine derivative. It possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, and antidepressant[1] properties. Adinazolam was developed by Dr. Jackson B. Hester, who was seeking to enhance the antidepressant properties of alprazolam, which he also developed.[2]
Pharmacology
Adinazolam produces inhibitory effects by binding to GABA receptors. This increases the effects of GABA.
Metabolism
Adinazolam was reported to have active metabolites in the August 1984 issue of The Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology.[3] The main metabolite is N-desmethyladinazolam.[4] The other two metabolites are alpha-hydroxyalprazolam and estazolam.[5] In the August 1986 issue of that same journal, Sethy, Francis and Day reported that proadifen inhibited the formation of N-desmethyladinazolam.[6]
Indications
Adinazolam is indicated as a treatment for anxiety and status epilepticus.
