Zaleplon-d4 (Item No. 18620) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantitation of zaleplon by GC- or LC-MS. Zalepon is a pyrazolopyrimidine that selectively activates the GABAA α1 receptor subunit (EC50 = 1.1 μM), producing a sedative effect. It is characterized as being an ultra-short-acting sedative due to short Tmax (0.7-1.4 hours) and half-life (1 hour) values. This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
