Identification
Common NameEszopiclone
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionEszopiclone, marketed by Sepracor under the brand-name Lunesta, is a nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic agent (viz., a sedative) used as a treatment for insomnia. Eszopiclone is the active stereoisomer of zopiclone, and belongs to the class of drugs known as cyclopyrrones. Its main selling point is that it is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for long-term use, unlike almost all other hypnotic sedatives, which are approved only for the relief of short-term (6-8 weeks) insomnia.

Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureRapidly absorbed following oral administration
Mechanism of ToxicityThe mechanism of action of Eszopiclone is not completely understood. It is thought that Eszopiclone acts on the benzodiazepine receptors as an agonist and interacts with GABA-receptor complexes.
MetabolismFollowing oral administration, eszopiclone is extensively metabolized by oxidation and demethylation. Route of Elimination: Up to 75% of an oral dose of racemic zopiclone is excreted in the urine, primarily as metabolites. Half Life: 6 hours
