Haloxazolam (marketed in Japan under the brand name Somelin), is a drug which is a
benzodiazepine derivative.[2][3][4] It has similar
hypnotic properties as the benzodiazepine drugs
triazolam,
temazepam, and
flunitrazepam and as such is indicated for the treatment of
insomnia.[5] A study in cats comparing
estazolam and haloxazolam found that haloxazolam only affects
gamma motor neurons, whereas estazolam affects both alpha and gamma motor neurons.[6]
