Fabomotizole (also known as Afobazole) is a selective non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic which was developed in Russia and launched in 2006. The drug is used for the treatment of wide range of diseases: generalized anxious disorders, neurasthenia, adaptation disorders, sleep disorders, for alleviation of withdrawal syndrome. According to the drug label (in Russian), its action is related to the interaction with sigma-1 receptors.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
For adult persons and children it is recommended to use internally, after meal. Usually it is recommended to use 1 tablet (10 mg) trice per day. The maximum daily dose is 60 mg. The period of therapy is 2-4 weeks. According to doctor prescription it is possible to prolong the period up to 3 months.
Route of Administration: Oral
Experiments on immortalized hippocampal cell culture of mice showed that afobazole increases the NGF level in a final concentration of 10(-8) M and the BDNF level in final concentrations from 10(-8) to 10(-5) M.
