Etizolam (1-Benzothienyl-4-ethyl-8-chloro-6-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one)
Research-Grade Thienodiazepine for Scientific and Analytical Study
Etizolam is a thienodiazepine-class compound, structurally related to traditional benzodiazepines such as diazepam and alprazolam. Known for its anxiolytic, sedative, and hypnotic properties, Etizolam has become a key focus in pharmacological and neurochemical research exploring GABAergic modulation and receptor binding dynamics.
Scientific Overview
Etizolam acts as a GABA-A receptor agonist, enhancing inhibitory neurotransmission within the central nervous system. This activity offers researchers a model for studying:
GABA receptor pharmacodynamics
⚙️ CNS depression and anxiolytic response
Comparative binding profiles with benzodiazepines
Dependence, tolerance, and neuroadaptation mechanisms
Its unique thienodiazepine structure (thiophene ring substitution) provides distinct pharmacokinetic properties, making it ideal for controlled investigations into CNS-active compounds and sedative drug development.
⚠️ Safety & Handling Notice
Etizolam is a potent psychoactive research compound and must be handled only by qualified researchers in controlled, certified laboratory environments. Due to its CNS-depressant effects and potential for dependence or misuse, strict compliance with all research safety protocols is essential.
Potential Hazards Include:
❗ Sedation, drowsiness, or cognitive impairment
❗ Respiratory depression or CNS suppression
❗ High potential for tolerance and dependency
