Clomethiazole (Distraneurin) is an orally active GABAA agonist and it is an anticonvulsant agent. It also has the potential for treating convulsive status epilepticus. Chlormethiazole inhibits cytochrome P450 isoforms: CYP2A6 and CYP2E1 in human liver microsomes.

Description | Clomethiazole (Distraneurin) is an orally active GABAA agonist and it is an anticonvulsant agent. It also has the potential for treating convulsive status epilepticus. Chlormethiazole inhibits cytochrome P450 isoforms: CYP2A6 and CYP2E1 in human liver microsomes. |
Targets&IC50 | CYP2A6/CYP2E1:24 µM and 42 µM |
In vitro | Clomethiazole inhibits cytochrome P450 isoforms, CYP2A6 and CYP2E1 (IC50: 24 μM and 42 μ), in human liver microsomes. But all other isoforms exhibiting values > 300 μM[2]. Clomethiazole (1 mM), in the absence of GABA, to α1/β1/γ2 or α1/β2/γ2 subunit-containing cells produced large whole-cell currents[1]. Clomethiazole activate GABAA currents in α1/β1/γ2- and α1/β2/γ2-containing cells ( EC50: 0.3 and 1.5 mM) [1]. Clomethiazole (30 μM) at low concentration also potentiates the action of GABA in both cell types, equivalent to a 3-fold increase in potency and up to 1.8-fold increase in maximal current[1]. |
