Description

1-Hydroxymidazolam (Alpha-hydroxy-midazolam) is pharmacologically active midazolam metabolite, which is, like the parent drug midazolam a neuronal depressant drug. There are numerous studies in which the statements concerning the contribution of 1-Hydroxymidazolam to the clinical actions of midazolam range from “almost equipotent” to “no major contributing factor”. In humans, Hydroxymidazolam is subject to further glucuronidation, followed by renal excretion. In humans, urinary recovery of 1-Hydroxymidazolam glucuronide accounted for 60 to 70% of an administered dose of [14C]midazolam. 1-Hydroxymidazolam and it’s glucuronide were found in patients with renal failure after administration of midazolam and may account for the prolonged sedation observed in those patients.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
short i. v. injection of 0.15 mg/kg-1 alpha-hydroxy-midazolam
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
The reaction mixture consisted of 1’-hydroxymidazolam (5–200 _M), 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) with 2 mM MgCl2, and human/rat liver microsomes (0.5 mg of protein/ml) or recombinant UGTs (1 mg of protein/ml) treated with alamethicin at 50 mkg/mg of microsomal protein. The reactions were initiated by the addition of UDPGA (2 mM), incubated at 37°C, and terminated with ice-cold acetonitrile containing 0.2% formic acid and phenolphthalein-beta-D-glucuronide as the internal standard. Samples were centrifuged at 3220g for 15 min, and supernatants were subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis.
