Haloxazolam (marketed in Japan under the brand name Somelin) is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It has similar hypnotic properties as the benzodiazepine drugs triazolam temazepam and flunitrazepam and as such is indicated for the treatment insomnia. A study in cats comparing estazolam and haloxazolam found that haloxazolam only affects gamma motor neurons whereas estazolam affects both alpha and gamma motor neurons.
