ZALEPLON- ZALEPLON CAPSULE REBEL DISTRIBUTORS CORP ---------- ZALEPLON CAPSULES CIV RX ONLY DESCRIPTION Zaleplon is a nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic from the pyrazolopyrimidine class. The chemical name of zaleplon is N-[3-(3-cyanopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)phenyl]-N-ethylacetamide. Its empirical formula is C H N O, and its molecular weight is 305.34. The structural formula is shown below. ZALEPLON Zaleplon is a white to off-white powder that is practically insoluble in water and sparingly soluble in alcohol or propylene glycol. Its partition coefficient in octanol/water is constant (log PC = 1.23) over the pH range of 1 to 7. Zaleplon capsules contain zaleplon as the active ingredient. Inactive ingredients consist of microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch, colloidal silicon dioxide, sodium lauryl sulfate, magnesium stearate, lactose, gelatin, titanium dioxide, FD&C blue #1, FD&C red #40 and black iron oxide. Zaleplon 5mg capsules also contain FD&C yellow #5. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY PHARMACODYNAMICS AND MECHANISM OF ACTION While Zaleplon is a hypnotic agent with a chemical structure unrelated to benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or other drugs with known hypnotic properties, it interacts with the gamma-aminobutyric acid- benzodiazepine (GABA-BZ) receptor complex. Subunit modulation of the GABA-BZ receptor chloride channel macromolecular complex is hypothesized to be responsible for some of the pharmacological properties of benzodiazepines, which include sedative, anxiolytic, muscle relaxant, and anticonvulsive effects in animal models. Other nonclinical studies have also shown that zaleplon binds selectively to the brain omega-1 receptor situated on the alpha subunit of the GABA /chloride ion channel receptor complex and potentiates t- butyl-bicyclophosphorothionate (TBPS) binding. Studies of binding of zaleplon to recombinant GABA receptors (α β γ [omega-1] and α β γ [omega-2]) have shown that zaleplon has a low affinity for these receptors, with preferential binding to the omega-1 receptor.
