4.4 Drug Indication

For the management of anxiety disorders or for the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety. Also used as adjunctive therapy in the management of partial seizures and for the symptomatic relief of acute alcohol withdrawal.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Clorazepate is a member of the group of drugs called benzodiazepines. Pharmacologically, clorazepate has the characteristics of the benzodiazepines. It has depressant effects on the central nervous system. The primary metabolite, nordiazepam, quickly appears in the blood stream. Studies in healthy men have shown that clorazenate has depressant effects on the central nervous system. Since orally administered clorazepate dipotassium is rapidly decarboxylated to form nordiazepam, there is essentially no circulating parent drug.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Anticonvulsants

Drugs used to prevent SEIZURES or reduce their severity. (See all compounds classified as Anticonvulsants.)


GABA Modulators

Substances that do not act as agonists or antagonists but do affect the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID receptor-ionophore complex. GABA-A receptors (RECEPTORS, GABA-A) appear to have at least three allosteric sites at which modulators act: a site at which BENZODIAZEPINES act by increasing the opening frequency of GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-activated chloride channels; a site at which BARBITURATES act to prolong the duration of channel opening; and a site at which some steroids may act. GENERAL ANESTHETICS probably act at least partly by potentiating GABAergic responses, but they are not included here. (See all compounds classified as GABA Modulators.)


Anti-Anxiety Agents

Agents that alleviate ANXIETY, tension, and ANXIETY DISORDERS, promote sedation, and have a calming effect without affecting clarity of consciousness or neurologic conditions. ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS are commonly used in the symptomatic treatment of anxiety but are not included here. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Anxiety Agents.)

Absorption

Rapidly absorbed following oral administration (bioavailability is 91%).


Route of Elimination

The drug is metabolized in the liver and excreted primarily in the urine.

5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

The drug is metabolized in the liver and excreted primarily in the urine. The primary metabolite, nordiazepam, is further metabolized by hydroxylation. The major urinary metabolite is conjugated oxazepam (3-hydroxynordiazepam), and smaller amounts of conjugated p-hydroxynordiazepam and nordiazepam are also found in the urine.

Following oral administration of clorazepate dipotassium, it appears that most of the drug is rapidly decarboxylated in the GI tract and is absorbed as desmethyldiazepam (nordiazepam). The rate of decarboxylation of clorazepate decreases as gastric pH increases. /Clorazepate dipotassium/

5.6 Biological Half-Life

The serum half-life is about 2 days. Nordiazepam, the primary metabolite, quickly appears in the blood and is eliminated from the plasma with an apparent half-life of about 40 to 50 hours.

5.7 Mechanism of Action

Benzodiazepines bind nonspecifically to benzodiazepine receptors BNZ1, which mediates sleep, and BNZ2, which affects affects muscle relaxation, anticonvulsant activity, motor coordination, and memory. As benzodiazepine receptors are thought to be coupled to gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABAA) receptors, this enhances the effects of GABA by increasing GABA affinity for the GABA receptor. Binding of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA to the site opens the chloride channel, resulting in a hyperpolarized cell membrane that prevents further excitation of the cell.


The effects of benzodiazepines on the waking EEG resemble those of other sedative-hypnotic drugs. Alpha activity is decreased, and there is an increase in low-voltage fast activity, especially beta activity. /Benzodiazepines/

Gilman, A.G., T.W. Rall, A.S. Nies and P. Taylor (eds.). Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 8th ed. New York, NY. Pergamon Press, 1990., p. 349


Acticonvulsant actions of the benzodiazepines, as well as other effects that occur at nonsedating doses, result in large part from their ability to enhance GABA-induced increases in the conductance of chloride. /Benzodiazepines/

Gilman, A.G., T.W. Rall, A.S. Nies and P. Taylor (eds.). Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 8th ed. New York, NY. Pergamon Press, 1990., p. 454


Benzodiazepines appear to produce their sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, and anticonvulsant actions by binding to specific pharmacologic receptors in the central nervous system. Benzodiazepine receptors are most concentrated in the cerebral cortex but are also found in the cerebellum, amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and spinal cord. Receptors have also been identified outside CNS, although peripheral receptors do not appear to have significant physiologic effects. The molecular receptor for the benzodiazepine molecule is a glycoprotein located on the lipid membranes of both neural and glial cells. It is speculated that there are at least two classes of benzodiazepine receptor believed to mediate different specific effects. Type I receptors predominate in the cerebelar cortex, and both type I and type II receptors are found in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Type I rceptors are postulated to mediate anxiolytic effects, and type II receptors mediate the sedative and other actions of benzodiazepines. No endogenous ligand or neurotransmitter for these receptors has been identified. /Benzodiazepines/
