General description

A benzodiazepine drug and anticonvulsant, demoxepam is also a primary metabolite of chlordiazepoxide, marketed as Klopoxid or Librax® for the treatment of anxiety and muscle spasms or pain.

Application


  • Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Analysis: A study discussed the rapid hydrolysis of chlordiazepoxide to Demoxepam, emphasizing the importance of understanding metabolic pathways in benzodiazepine analogues research. This knowledge aids in the design of neuropharmacology experiments and the development of GABA receptor agonist studies (Vinkers et al., 2010).

  • Neuropharmacological Studies: Research utilizing Demoxepam has explored its role as a benzodiazepine receptor ligand, which provides insight into its function as a neuropharmacology research chemical. These studies contribute to our understanding of Demoxepam′s effects on anxiety and its potential therapeutic applications (Lister et al., 1984).

  • High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Applications: The application of HPLC in the determination of 1,4-benzodiazepines and their metabolites, including Demoxepam, highlights its utility in the precise measurement of these compounds in plasma. This is crucial for biochemical assays and enhances the research reagent′s reliability in pharmaceutical industry studies (Skellern et al., 1978).

Rapid difference spectrophotometric methods for chlordiazepoxide and demoxepam in chlordiazepoxide formulations are described which overcome the nonspecificity of the official spectrophotometric assays. The procedures are based on the measurement of the difference absorbance at 269 nm of equimolar solutions of

Since some patients with eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome ingested tryptophan along with benzodiazepines, we investigated whether demoxepam, the N-desalkylated compound of chlordiazepoxide, would influence the binding of tryptophan to hepatic nuclei. L-Tryptophan has been shown to bind (saturable, stereospecific, and of high

The identification of the metabolite demoxepam in human urine establishes that chlordiazepoxide, a common benzodiazepine, has been administered. Like N-oxide metabolites of other drugs, demoxepam cannot be detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), due to thermal decomposition, and the product
