A

Dr. Sternbach at Hoffman LaRoche synthesized a series of quinaoline N-oxides. They did not yield good pharmacologic effects. One compound from this category (quinazolone-3-oxides) crystallized out and was found to have hypnotic, sedative and muscle relaxant activities.

52
Q

What does aspirin inhibit?

A

53
Q

What chemical class is chlordiazepoxide found in?

A

Benzodiazepine (first one)

Q

What was chlordiazepoxide marked as in 1960?

A

As Librium, a safe and effective anxiolytic agent.

55
Q

What drug was made when chlordiazepoxide was structurally modified?

A

Diazepam (3 to 10-fold more potent than chlordiazepoxide)

56
Q

What is the therapeutic class of chlordiazepoxide?

A

Anti-anxiety agent

57
Q

What is the mechanism of action for chlordiazepoxide?

A

GABAa receptor agonist, potentiates neuronal inhibitory actions of GABA
