zopiclone: S(+)-enantiomer of racemic zopiclone; azabicyclo(4.3.0)nonane; a nonbenzodiazepine; one of the so-called of Z drugs (zopiclone, eszopiclone, zolpidem, and zaleplon) for which there is some correlation with tumors; was term of zopiclone 2004-2007
zopiclone : A pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyrazine compound having a 4-methylpiperazine-1-carboxyl group at the 5-position, a 5-chloropyridin-2-yl group at the 6-position and an oxo-substituent at the 7-position.

Seizures: Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We evaluated racemic zopiclone, its (S)- and (R)-enantiomers and a metabolite, (S)-desmethylzopiclone, for their actions on locomotor activity, rotarod performance, the elevated plus maze and the Vogel conflict test of anxiety, and electroconvulsive shock-induced seizures duration."3.71Sedative and anxiolytic effects of zopiclone's enantiomers and metabolite. ( Carlson, JN; Glick, SD; Haskew, R; Jerussi, TP; Maisonneuve, IM; Wacker, J, 2001)
"Furthermore, the patient suffered from convulsion on two occasions following abrupt withdrawal of zopiclone."1.28Misuse of zopiclone and convulsions during withdrawal. ( Aranko, K; Henriksson, M; Hublin, C; Seppäläinen, AM, 1991)
