Nitrazolam is a triazolobenzodiazepine (TBZD)
, which are benzodiazepine (BZD) derivatives,[1] that has been sold online as a designer drug .[2] [3]
It is closely related to Clonazolam or Flunitrazolam , only differing by the removal of a Chlorine or Fluorine group respectively at the benzene ring.
A study in mice indicated that nitrazolam can be several times more potent than diazepam as an antagonist of electroshock-induced tonic-extensor convulsions but less potent than diazepam at preventing the righting reflex .[4]
Nitrazolam has been used as an example compound to demonstrate the microscale synthesis of reference materials utilizing polymer‐supported reagents.[5]
Legal Status [ ]
United Kingdom [ ]
In the UK, nitrazolam has been classified as a Class C drug by the May 2017 amendment to The Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 along with several other designer benzodiazepine drugs.[6]
