Psychiatric use
Rilmazafone is a water-soluble benzodiazepine prodrug that acts as a sedative and hypnotic neuropsychiatric agent. Nishino et al (2008) examined the anxiolytic effect of short-acting benzodiazepine hypnotics, including rilmazafone, in mice using an elevated plus-maze. They concluded that these were more potent, with smaller doses, than diazepam used as a control. Rilmazafone has been considered to have a high potential to influence performance in the equine athlete (Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, 2015).
