Description

Intended Use

Zaleplon Rapid Test (Urine) is a rapid visual immunoassay for the qualitative presumptive detection of Zaleplon in human urine specimens at the cut-off concentrations.

Zaleplon Rapid Test (Urine) should be only used for the qualitative detection of Zaleplon.

Introduction

Zaleplon is a sedative-hypnotic, almost entirely used for the management/treatment of insomnia. It is a nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic from the pyrazolopyrimidine class

The side effects of zaleplon are similar to the side effects of benzodiazepines, although with less next-day sedation, and in two studies zaleplon use was found to not cause an increase in traffic accidents, as compared to otherhypnotics currently on the market.

Zaleplon is primarily metabolised by aldehyde oxidase, and its half-life can be affected by substances which inhibit or induce aldehyde oxidase. Taken orally, zaleplon reaches full concentration in about one hour. It is extensively metabolised into 5-oxozaleplon and 5-oxodesethylzaleplon (the latter via desethylzaleplon), with less than 1% of it excreted intact in urine.
