    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 clonazolamorflunitrazolam, only differing by the removal of a chlorineorfluorine 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]
