Eszopiclone is a nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic (Zdrug) that binds selectively to the benzodiazepine site of GABAA receptors, preferentially those containing the 1 subunit. It enhances GABAmediated chloride influx, producing neuronal hyperpolarization and sedation without strong anticonvulsant or anxiolytic effects.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in sleeparchitecture research, GABAA receptor subtype pharmacology, hypnoticmechanism modelling, and CNSsedative PK/PD studies.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include sedation, cognitive impairment, nextday drowsiness, dependence, complex sleep behaviours and bitter taste dysgeusia. Handle with controlledsubstance hypnotic precautions.
