Cyclopyrrolone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cyclopyrrolone (often erroneously spelled Cyclopryrrolone) is a hypnotic and anxiolytic non-benzodiazepine agent with benzodiazepine like properties.
Although cyclopyrrolone is chemically unrelated to benzodiazepines, it functions via the benzodiazepine receptor/Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmitter. Common derivatives of cyclopyrrolone include zopiclone (Imovane®) and its enantiomer eszopiclone (Lunesta®), are used to treat insomnia, with known potential for abuse.[1]
