Fluadinazolam

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Fluadinazolam is a benzodiazepine derivative that is a research chemical. It is a potent psychoactive drug that is used for its anxiolytic, muscle relaxant, hypnotic, and amnesic effects.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

Fluadinazolam is a triazolobenzodiazepine, which is a subclass of benzodiazepines. It has a triazole ring fused to the benzodiazepine ring, which is a seven-membered ring with two nitrogen constituents located at R1 and R4. The benzyl ring of fluadinazolam is substituted at R8 with a fluorine atom.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Fluadinazolam acts as a high-affinity GABA_A receptor positive allosteric modulator. This means it enhances the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the GABA_A receptor, resulting in sedative, hypnotic (sleep-inducing), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant properties.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of fluadinazolam are similar to other benzodiazepines, such as alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium), and clonazepam (Klonopin). These effects include anxiolysis, disinhibition, sedation, muscle relaxation, and euphoria. However, fluadinazolam is reported to be more potent than these other benzodiazepines.

Safety[edit | edit source]

Like other benzodiazepines, fluadinazolam has a risk of dependence and withdrawal if used regularly or in high doses. It can also cause respiratory depression if combined with other depressants like alcohol or opioids.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

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