Deschloroclotizolam

Deschloroclotizolam is a psychoactive drug of the benzodiazepine class. It is an analog of clotizolam, distinguished by the removal of a chlorine atom from its molecular structure.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Deschloroclotizolam, like other benzodiazepines, acts as a positive allosteric modulator of the GABA_A receptor, enhancing the effects of the neurotransmitter GABA. This results in sedative, anxiolytic, and muscle relaxant effects.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

Deschloroclotizolam is a thienotriazolodiazepine, a subclass of benzodiazepines that includes a triazole ring fused to the diazepine ring structure. The removal of a chlorine atom from the parent compound, clotizolam, results in deschloroclotizolam.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of deschloroclotizolam are similar to other benzodiazepines and can include sedation, muscle relaxation, reduction in anxiety, and prevention of seizures. However, the specific effects can vary greatly depending on the dose and individual's physiology.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of deschloroclotizolam varies by country. In some countries, it is a controlled substance, while in others it is legal to possess for personal use.
