Tác dụng
Description:
Mechanism of Action: Estazolam binds to stereospecific benzodiazepine receptors on the postsynaptic GABA neuron at several sites w/in the CNS, including the limbic system, reticular formation. Enhancement of the inhibitory effect of GABA on neuronal excitability results by increased neuronal membrane permeability to Cl ions, which results in hyperpolarisation (a less excitable state) and stabilisation. Benzodiazepine receptors and effects appear to be linked to the GABA-A receptors. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Rapidly and well absorbed from the GI tract. Time to peak plasma concentration: Approx 0.5-1.6 hr after a single 2 mg dose; 1-3 hr after a single 4 mg dose. Distribution: Widely distributed into most body tissues and fluids. Crosses the blood-brain barrier. Plasma protein-binding: 93%. Metabolism: Extensively hepatic. Excretion: Via urine (87% as inactive metabolites and <5% as unchanged drug) and faeces (4% as inactive metabolites). |
