Bioactivity | 1'-Hydroxymidazolam is a primary active metabolite of Midazolam, and it is a neuronal depressant agent. 1'-Hydroxymidazolam could inhibit neuronal activity add to the effects of Midazolam[1][2]. |
Invitro | 1'-Hydroxymidazolam (5 nM-1 µM) induces a significant inhibition of the action potential firing rate at concentrations of 100 nM or higher and causes a steady increase in the depression of network activity with increasing concentrations of up to 1 µM in neocortical slice cultures from wild-type mice[2]. |
