The Uses of ETHINAMATE

Ethinamate (E890730) is a an active central nervous system depressant used in the treatment of insomnia.

Background

Ethinamate is a short-acting sedative-hypnotic medication used to treat insomnia. Like many such similar medications, the regular use of ethinamate can result in the development of drug tolerance in a patient. Nevertheless, the medication itself is generally no longer effective after using it for greater than 7 days. Structurally, it does not resemble the barbituates, but it shares many effects with this class of drugs; the depressant effects of ethinamate are, however, generally milder than those of most barbiturates.

Indications

Used for the short-term treatment of insomnia, however, it generally has been replaced by other sedative-hypnotic agents.

Definition

ChEBI: A carbamate ester that is the 1-vinylcyclohexyl ester of carbamic acid. A short-acting sedative-hypnotic, it was formerly used to treat insomnia.

Manufacturing Process

A solution of 34 cc (0.5 mol) of liquid phosgene in 150 cc of absolute ether is reacted while cooling with a mixture of sodium chloride and ice, first with 62 grams (0.5 mol) of 1-ethinyl cyclohexanol-1 and then with 64 cc (0.5 mol) of quinoline. The precipitated quinoline chlorohydrate is filtered off and the filtrate is reacted with ammonia in ether. In this manner 45 grams of the carbamic acid ester of 1-ethinyl cyclohexanol are obtained. Yield: 53% of the theoretical yield. The ester boils at 108° to 110°C/3 mm and on recrystallization from cyclohexane, yields colorless needles melting at 94° to 96°C.

Therapeutic Function

Sedative

Pharmacokinetics

Ethinamate is used to treat insomnia (trouble in sleeping). However, it has generally been replaced by other medicines for the treatment of insomnia. If ethinamate is used regularly (for example, every day) to help produce sleep, it is usually not effective for more than 7 days. Structurally, it does not resemble the barbiturates, but it shares many effects with this class of drugs; the depressant effects of ethinamate are, however, generally milder than those of most barbiturates. Continued and inappropriate use of ethinamate can lead to tolerance and physical dependence, with withdrawal symptoms very similar to those of the barbiturates.

Safety Profile

A deadly human poison. Experimental poison by ingestion, intravenous, subcutaneous, and intraperitoneal routes. An experimental teratogen. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also CARBAMATES.

Metabolism

Hepatic.
