Application
Chlorzoxazone may be used:
- as a calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channel activator in patch-clamp electrophysiology to test its effect on dendritic hyperexcitability
- as a substrate for cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) enzyme in cultured human hepatocytes
- as a benzimidazolone compound to test its effect on epithelial sodium (Na+) transport
Biochem/physiol Actions
Chlorzoxazone inhibits the multisynaptic reflex arcs primarily in the spinal cord and brain subcortical areas. It is an activator of calcium activated potassium channels and may contribute to the aortic artery relaxation in mice. Chlorzoxazone also activates the calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channel and small conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (SK). It is metabolized by cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) and serves as a probe for monitoring this enzyme function.
Chlorzoxazone is a skeletal muscle relaxant.

Episodic ataxia type-2 (EA2) is an inherited movement disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding the Ca(v)2.1alpha1 subunit of the P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channel that result in an overall reduction in the P/Q-type calcium current. A consequence of these

Episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) is a hereditary cerebellar ataxia associated with mutations in the P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium (Ca(2+)) channels. Therapeutic approaches for treatment of EA2 are very limited. Presently, the potassium (K(+)) channel blocker 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) constitutes the most

Alcoholism imposes a tremendous social and economic burden. There are relatively few pharmacological treatments for alcoholism, with only moderate efficacy, and there is considerable interest in identifying additional therapeutic options.
