- Clomethiazole
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB06470
- Background
Clomethiazole is a well-established γ-aminobutyric acid (GABAA)-mimetic drug. It is a sedative and hypnotic that is widely used in treating and preventing symptoms of acute alcohol withdrawal. It is a drug which is structurally related to thiamine (vitamin B1) but acts like a sedative, hypnotic, muscle relaxant and anticonvulsant. It is also used for the management of agitation, restlessness, short-term insomnia and Parkinson's disease in the elderly.

- Mechanism of action
clomethiazole interacts with the GABAA receptor complex. It inhibits the binding of [35S]butyl-bicyclophosphorothionate (TBPS), an effect indicative of GABAA receptor-channel activation, by increasing the rate of [35S]TBPS dissociation and decreasing the binding affinity. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), acting at GABAA receptors, is the main fast inhibitory neurotransmitter in mammalian central nervous system
