2,2,2-Trichloroethanol（Cat No.:R044578） is the active metabolite of chloral hydrate, a sedative-hypnotic drug. It acts as an agonist for the non-canonical K2P channels TREK-1 and TRAAK. These channels are involved in the regulation of neuronal excitability and play a role in pain perception, anesthesia, and other physiological processes. By activating these channels, 2,2,2-Trichloroethanol can modulate neuronal activity, leading to sedative and hypnotic effects.
