Thienodiazepine
A thienodiazepine is a heterocyclic compound containing a diazepine ring fused to a thiophene ring.
The thienodiazepine structure forms the central core of some pharmaceutical and recreational drugs, including:
- Bentazepam
- Clotiazepam
- Etizolam
- Metizolam
- Deschloroetizolam
Since thienodiazepines interact with the benzodiazepine receptor site, they typically have similar effects as benzodiazepines.
