Eszopiclone is a sedative-hypnotic used in the treatment of insomnia, improving both the latency phase and the maintenance phase of sleep.
The exact mechanism of action of eszopiclone is unknown at this time but is thought to occur via binding with the GABA receptor complexes at binding sites located near benzodiazepine receptors, possibly explaining its hypnotic and sedative effects. It has particular affinity for GABA-A (or GABAA) receptor subunits 1, 3 and 5. Eszopiclone increases GABA-A channel currents significantly. GABA-A channels are major inhibitory channels that cause CNS depression when their receptors are activated.
Eszopiclone is indicated for the treatment of insomnia.
