Chlormethiazole hydrochloride, a thiazole derivative, is a sedative, hypnotic and anxiolytic compound that has been used for the treatment of alcohol-withdrawal symptoms, status epilepticus and pre-eclampsia.
Chlormethiazole acts as a positive modulator of GABA(A) and glycine receptors and holds structural similarity to the β-subunit-selective compound loreclezole. In several studies, the compound was also shown to have neuroprotective properties in models of ischaemia1,2,3.
GABA(A) receptors are members of the Cys-loop superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels and mediate GABA action, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, throughout the central nervous system. GABA(A) receptors are considered to be a major target of antiseizure drugs4.
Chlormethiazole hydrochloride (#C-360) is a highly pure, synthetic, and biologically active compound.
