DrugBankHistory & Culture
Nitemazepam, also known as 3-hydroxynimetazepam, is a benzodiazepine derivative that was originally synthesized during the 1970s. Despite its early development, the compound was never brought to market as a pharmaceutical product. Decades after its initial synthesis, nitemazepam resurfaced as a designer drug within the research chemical market. The substance was first definitively identified in Europe in 2017, representing part of a broader trend of novel benzodiazepines entering grey market circulation.
