Summary Afloqualone, also known as Arofuto, belongs to the quinazolinone family of GABAergic drugs. It is an analog of methaqualone that was developed in the 1970s by researchers at Tanabe Seiyaku. This compound exerts sedative and muscle-relaxant effects through its…

γ-Valerolactone

Summary γ-Valerolactone, often abbreviated as GVL, represents an organic compound characterized by the chemical formula C5H8O2. This clear, colourless liquid ranks among the more prevalent lactones. Although GVL possesses chirality, it is commonly employed in its racemic form. It can…

gamma-Hydroxyvaleric acid

Summary Gamma-hydroxyvaleric acid (GHV), also referred to as 4-methyl-GHB, is a synthetic substance classified as a designer drug closely related to gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). Occasionally, it appears on the grey market as a legal substitute for GHB. However, it is…

gamma-Butyrolactone

Summary Gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), also known as γ-butyrolactone, is a colourless liquid that readily absorbs moisture from the air and has a faint, distinct odour. This compound represents the simplest form of a four-carbon lactone. Its primary application lies in serving…

1,4-Butanediol

Summary Butane-1,4-diol, distinct from 1,3-butanediol, represents primary alcohol and an organic compound identified by the chemical formula HOCH2CH2CH2CH2OH. This substance is a clear and thick liquid, comprising one of the four enduring isomeric forms of butanediol. Identifiers CAS Number 110-63-4 …

Metizolam

Summary Metizolam, alternatively recognized as desmethyl etizolam, stands as a thienotriazolodiazepine, characterized by its status as the demethylated counterpart of the closely linked etizolam.

Fluclotizolam

Summary Fluclotizolam, initially synthesised in 1979 as a thienotriazolodiazepine derivative, remained unmarketed at the time. However, it resurfaced as a designer drug and was definitively identified for this purpose in 2017. Identifiers IUPAC name CAS Number 54123-15-8 PubChem CID 21317700…

Flubrotizolam

Summary Flubrotizolam, known chemically as 2-bromo-4-(2-fluorophenyl)-9-methyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine, is a thienotriazolodiazepine analog. It possesses significant sedative and anxiolytic properties, and it has been marketed and distributed as a substance falling under the category of designer drugs. Identifiers IUPAC name CAS Number 57801-95-3 …

Etizolam

Summary Etizolam, available under numerous brand names, is a derivative of thienodiazepine, essentially an analogue of benzodiazepine. It distinguishes itself by substituting the benzene ring with a thiophene ring and fusing a triazole ring, effectively categorizing it as a thienotriazolodiazepine.Although…

Deschloroetizolam

Summary Deschloroetizolam, sometimes referred to as Etizolam-2, is a thienotriazolodiazepine compound, and it represents the dechlorinated counterpart of the closely associated etizolam. This chemical has been marketed and sold as a designer drug. Identifiers IUPAC name CAS Number 40054-73-7  PubChem…
