CAS 15879-93-3: Chloralose
Description:Chloralose, with the CAS number 15879-93-3, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of chlorinated sugars. It is primarily known for its use as a sedative and anesthetic in veterinary medicine, particularly for small animals. Chloralose is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and is soluble in water and alcohol, which facilitates its administration. The compound acts as a central nervous system depressant, inducing sedation and analgesia, making it useful in various experimental and clinical settings. Its mechanism of action involves modulation of neurotransmitter systems, particularly enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Chloralose is generally considered to have a low toxicity profile when used appropriately; however, care must be taken to avoid overdosing, as it can lead to respiratory depression and other adverse effects. Due to its pharmacological properties, chloralose is also utilized in research settings to study sleep and anesthesia. As with all chemical substances, proper handling and adherence to safety protocols are essential when working with chloralose.
