Nitrazolam is atriazolobenzodiazepine (TBZD) , which arebenzodiazepine (BZD) derivatives,[1] that has been sold online as adesigner drug.[2][3]
It is closely related toclonazolam orflunitrazolam, only differing by the removal of achlorine orfluorine group respectively at the benzene ring.
A study in mice indicated that nitrazolam can be several times more potent thandiazepam as an antagonist of electroshock-induced tonic-extensor convulsions but less potent than diazepam at preventing therighting reflex.[4]
Nitrazolam has been used as an example compound to demonstrate the microscale synthesis of reference materials utilizing polymer‐supported reagents.[5]
In the UK, nitrazolam has been classified as aClass C drug by the May 2017 amendment toThe Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 along with several other designer benzodiazepine drugs.[6]
