Description

Sulazepam is a desmethylbenzodiazepine. It is the thioamide derivative of diazepam. It has sedative, muscle relaxant, hypnotic, anticonvulsant and anxiolytic properties like those of other benzodiazepines. Sulazepam in vivo in experimental animals undergoes enzymic desulfonation, demethylation, and [3C] hydroxylation, with the formation of basic metabolites: diazepam, desmethyldiazepam, and oxazepam.
