Desmethylzopiclone, also known as SEP-174559, is an active metabolite of the sedative-hypnotic drug zolpiclone.
Unlike its parent compound, which is a largely non-selective benzodiazepine site agonist, Desmethylzopiclone is a selective partial agonist at the benzodiazepine site of α3-containing GABA receptor subtypes. [1] It is also an antagonist to nicotinic acetylcholine and NMDA receptors. [1]
Desmethylzopiclone has been described as a potential anxio-selective metabolite of zolpicloning owing to its selective affinity for the modulation of α3-containing GABA receptor subtypes. [1] These GABA-A subtypes have been implicated as key mediators of the anxiolytic effects of benzodiazepines. [2]
The quantification of desmethylzopiclone from urine has been demonstrated and may serve useful in forensic analysis of cases involving zolpiclone intoxication. [3]
