Tofisopam (marketed under brand names Emandaxin and Grandaxin) is a 2,3-benzodiazepine drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. In contrast to classical 1,4-benzodiazepines, the compound does not bind to the benzodiazepine binding site of the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor and its psychopharmacological profile differs from such compounds. Although Tofisopam is not approved for sale in North America, it is approved for use in various countries worldwide, including parts of Europe. The D-enantiomer ([dextofisopam]) is currently in phase II trials in the U.S. for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Like other benzodiazepines, tofisopam possesses anxiolytic properties but unlike other benzodiazepines it does not have anticonvulsant, sedative, skeletal muscle relaxant, motor skill-impairing or amnestic properties. It enhances the anticonvulsant activity of 1,4-benzodiazepines like diazepam but not sodium valproate, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or phenytoin.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Antidepressive Agents

Mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. Several MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS are useful as antidepressants apparently as a long-term consequence of their modulation of catecholamine levels. The tricyclic compounds useful as antidepressive agents (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, TRICYCLIC) also appear to act through brain catecholamine systems. A third group (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, SECOND-GENERATION) is a diverse group of drugs including some that act specifically on serotonergic systems. (See all compounds classified as Antidepressive Agents.)

5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

Hepatic.


5.5 Biological Half-Life

6-8 hours


5.6 Mechanism of Action

Tofisopam does not bind to the benzodiazepine binding site of the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor. One study (Rundfeldt C. et al.) has shown that tofisopam acts as an isoenzyme-selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterases (PDEs) with highest affinity to PDE-4A1 (0.42 M) followed by PDE-10A1 (0.92 M), PDE-3 (1.98 M) and PDE-2A3 (2.11 M).
