Flubromazepam

Summary

Flubromazepam is a benzodiazepine derivative which was first synthesized in 1960,[1] but was never marketed and did not receive any further attention or study until late 2012 when it appeared on the grey market as a novel designer drug.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

It is a structural analog of phenazepam in which the chlorine atom has been replaced by a fluorine atom.

An alternate isomer, 5-(2-bromophenyl)-7-fluoro-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one or "iso-flubromazepam",[9] may have been sold under the same name.[2]

Legal status edit

United Kingdom edit

In the UK, flubromazepam 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.[10]

United States edit

Flubromazepam, clonazolam, and flubromazolam are Schedule I controlled substances under Virginia State Law.[11]
