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).
