Product Information

• Name: Iomazenil
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Iomazenil is a benzodiazepine derivative that has been used as an antidote for benzodiazepine overdose. It binds to the GABA-A receptor and increases the rate of metabolism, which leads to increased blood flow to the brain. Iomazenil also has analytical applications in diagnosing hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer, by measuring the levels of metabolites in urine or blood samples. The drug can be used to measure metabolic rates and the activity index of caudate putamen cells. It also binds to receptors on mononuclear leukocytes and induces an increase in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production, which leads to cell death.
