Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
The main urine metabolites of racemic zopiclone are the less active eszopiclone-N-oxide (RP 29753) and the inactive Norzopiclone (N-desmethyleszopiclone, RP 32273)[1]. Zopiclone has two major metabolites, N-oxideZopiclone and Norzopiclone (N-desmethyl-Zopiclone). N-oxideZopiclone has a hypnotic activity lower than the parent Zopiclone, whereas Norzopiclone (N-desmethyl-Zopiclone) lacks hypnotic effect, but has some anxiolytic properties[3].
