Fluloprazolam (also known as fluoprazolam) is a benzodiazepine derivative which has been sold online as a designer drug.[citation needed] It is an analog of loprazolam with the chlorine atom on the phenyl group being replaced by a fluorine atom.
History
[edit]Fluloprazolam was first described in 1977 by Ager et al.[1]
Pharmacology
[edit]Fluloprazolam is expected to have similar pharmacological properties as loprazolam. Its general level of activity has been described as "very high" alongside that of loprazolam.[1][a] However, fluloprazolam’s dosing range and potency relative to other benzodiazepines has not been described in scientific literature.
Other pharmacological data on fluloprazolam is extremely limited. Little is known about its exact receptor targets, metabolism, and potential toxicity.
