clorazepic acid
Sign in to saveAlso known as 4306 CB, 7-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2,2-dihydroxy-5-phenyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-3-carboxylic acid, Tranxene, clorazepate, Clorazepate, 7-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2,2-Dihydroxy-5-phenyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-3-carboxylic acid
Clorazepate, sold under the brand name Tranxene among others, is a benzodiazepine medication. It possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, hypnotic, and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. Clorazepate is an unusually long-lasting benzodiazepine and serves as a prodrug for the equally long-lasting desmethyldiazepam, which is rapidly produced as an active metabolite. Desmethyldiazepam is responsible for most of the therapeutic effects of clorazepate.
