Zaleplon is slightly effective in treating insomnia,[11] primarily characterized by difficulty falling asleep. Zaleplon significantly reduces the time required to fall asleep by improving sleep latency and may therefore facilitate sleep induction rather than sleep maintenance.[12][13][14] Due to its ultrashort elimination half-life, zaleplon may not be effective in reducing premature awakenings; however, it may be administered to alleviate middle-of-the-night awakenings.[12] However, zaleplon has not been empirically shown to increase total sleep time.[14][12]
Zaleplon does not significantly affect driving performance the morning following bedtime administration or 4 hours after middle-of-the-night administration. [15] It may have advantages over benzodiazepines with fewer adverse effects.[16]
Special populations
Zaleplon is not recommended for chronic use in the elderly.[17] The elderly are more sensitive to the adverse effects of zaleplon such as cognitive side effects. Zaleplon may increase the risk of injury among the elderly. It should not be used during pregnancy or lactation. Clinicians should devote more attention when prescribing for patients with a history of alcohol or drug abuse, psychotic illness, or depression.[18]
In addition, some contend the efficacy and safety of long-term use of these agents remains to be enumerated, but nothing concrete suggests long-term use poses any direct harm to a person.[19]
Adverse effects
The adverse effects of zaleplon are similar to the adverse effects of benzodiazepines, although with less next-day sedation,[20] and in two studies zaleplon use was found not to cause an increase in traffic accidents, as compared to other hypnotics currently on the market.[21][22]
Sleeping pills, including zaleplon, have been associated with an increased risk of death.[23]
Some evidence suggests zaleplon is not as chemically reinforcing and exhibits far fewer rebound effects when compared with other nonbenzodiazepines, or Z-drugs.[24]
Interactions
The CYP3A4liver enzyme is a minor metabolic pathway for zaleplon, normally metabolizing about 9% of the drug.[9] CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampicin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, and
phenobarbital can reduce the effectiveness of zaleplon, and therefore the FDA suggests that other hypnotic drugs be considered in patients taking a CYP3A4 inducer.[9]
Additional sedation has been observed when zaleplon is combined with thioridazine, but it is not clear whether this was due to merely an additive effect of taking two sedative drugs at once or a true drug-drug interaction.[25]Diphenhydramine, a weak inhibitor of aldehyde oxidase, has not been found to affect the pharmacokinetics of zaleplon.[25]
Pharmacology
Mechanism of action
Zaleplon is a high-selectivity,[26] high-affinity ligand of positive modulator sites of GABAA receptors, which enhances GABAergic inhibition of neurotransmission in the central nervous system. The ultrashort half-life gives Zaleplon a unique advantage over other hypnotics because of its lack of next-day residual effects on driving and other performance-related skills.[27][28] Unlike nonselective benzodiazepine drugs and zopiclone, which distort the sleep pattern, zaleplon appears to induce sleep without disrupting the normal sleep architecture.[29]
A meta-analysis of randomized, controlled clinical trials which compared benzodiazepines against zaleplon or other Z-drugs such as zolpidem, zopiclone, and eszopiclone has found few clear and consistent differences between zaleplon and the benzodiazepines in terms of sleep onset latency, total sleep duration, number of awakenings, quality of sleep, adverse events, tolerance, rebound insomnia, and daytime alertness.[30]
Zaleplon should be understood as an ultrashort-acting sedative-hypnotic drug for the treatment of insomnia. Zaleplon increases EEG power density in the δ-frequency band and a decrease in the energy of the θ-frequency band.[31][32]
Pharmacokinetics
Zaleplon is primarily metabolised by aldehyde oxidase into 5-oxozaleplon, and its half-life may be affected by substances which inhibit or induce aldehyde oxidase. According to urine analysis, about 9% of zaleplon is metabolized by CYP3A4 to form desethylzaleplon, which is quickly metabolized by aldehyde oxidase to 5-oxodesethylzaleplon.[9][4] All of these metabolites are inactive.[4] When taken orally, zaleplon reaches maximum concentration in about 45 minutes.[4]
The synthesis starts with the condensation of 3-acetylacetanilide[36][37] (1) with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA)[38] to give the eneamide (2). The anilide nitrogen is then alkylated by means of sodium hydride and ethyl iodide to give 3. The first step in the condensation with 3-amino-4-cyanopyrazole can be visualized as involving an addition-elimination reaction sequence on the eneamide function to give a transient intermediate such as 5. Cyclization then leads to the formation of the fused pyrimidine ring to afford zaleplon (6).
Society and culture
Recreational use
Zaleplon has the potential to be a drug of recreational use, and has been found to have an addictive potential similar to benzodiazepine and benzodiazepine-like hypnotics.[39]
Some individuals use a different delivery method than prescribed, such as insufflation, to induce effects faster.[40]
Anterograde amnesia can occur and can cause one to lose track of the amount of zaleplon already ingested, prompting the ingesting of more than originally planned.[41][42]
Aviation use
The Federal Aviation Administration allows zaleplon with a 12-hour wait period and no more than twice a week, which makes it the sleep medication with the shortest allowed waiting period after use.[43] The substances with the 2nd shortest period, which is of 24 hours, are zolpidem and ramelteon.[43]
Military use
The United States Air Force uses zaleplon as one of the hypnotics approved as a "no-go pill" to help aviators and special-duty personnel sleep in support of mission readiness (with a four-hour restriction on subsequent flight operation). "Ground tests" are required prior to authorization being issued to use the medication in an operational situation.[44] The other hypnotics used as "no-go pills" are temazepam and zolpidem, which both have longer mandatory recovery periods.[44]

PMID19269393. Zaleplon (Sonata) has the shortest half-life of the Z-drugs of 1 hour and reaches peak plasma level in 1 hour. It is rapidly absorbed in under1 hour and has no active metabolites. The recommended adult dose is 5–20 mg.

PMID17482030. Zaleplon is available as an immediate-release tablet or capsule. An average oral dose of 10 to 15 mg has a rapid onset of clinical symptoms of approximately 10 to 30 minutes. Although the t1/2 for zaleplon is about 1 hour, the duration of clinical effects may persist for greater than 6 hours. This persistence may be because of the higher affinity of zaleplon for specific α2 and α3 subunits of the GABA receptor, unlike zolpidem or zopiclone [74].
^"SONATA - zaleplon capsule". DailyMed. U.S. National Library of Medicine. Retrieved 31 August 2024. Do not take Sonata unless you are able to get 4 or more hours of sleep before you must be active again. DO NOT use alcohol while taking Sonata or any other sleep medicine. Be sure to tell your physician if you suffer from depression. Sonata works very quickly. You should only take Sonata immediately before going to bed or after you have gone to bed and are having difficulty falling asleep. For Sonata to work best, you should not take Sonata with or immediately after a high-fat/heavy meal. Some people should start with the lowest dose (5 mg) of Sonata; these include the elderly (ie, ages 65 and over) and people with liver disease.
