Flunitrazolam
Flunitrazolam (FNTZ) is an orally active triazolobenzodiazepine designer benzodiazepine compound and a positive allosteric modulator of the GABAA receptor. Flunitrazolam undergoes biometabolic transformation, and 7-amino-flunitrazolam and 7-acetamido-flunitrazolam are its main detectable metabolites in urine. Flunitrazolam can be used in research related to GABA-mediated diseases, such as neurological disorders.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Flunitrazolam (compound 36) acts as a positive allosteric modulator of α1β2γ2 GABAA receptors in CHO cells, and its activity depends on the classical BZD α+/γ2- binding pocket.[1]
Flunitrazolam (FNTZ) undergoes biotransformation, and 7-amino-FNTZ and 7-acetamido-FNTZ are its main detectable metabolites in urine; moreover, in human liver microsomes, 7-amino-FNTZ is the only metabolite of flunitrazolam produced under the study conditions[2].
