CAS 1622-62-4: Flunitrazepam
Description:Flunitrazepam, commonly known as Rohypnol, is a potent benzodiazepine derivative primarily used for its sedative and hypnotic properties. It is characterized by its ability to induce sleep, relieve anxiety, and provide muscle relaxation. The substance acts on the central nervous system by enhancing the effects of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), leading to increased inhibitory neurotransmission. Flunitrazepam is typically administered orally, and its effects can be felt within 30 minutes, lasting several hours. Due to its high potential for abuse and association with illicit drug use, particularly in cases of drug-facilitated sexual assault, it is classified as a controlled substance in many countries. The drug can cause significant side effects, including drowsiness, confusion, and impaired motor function, and it carries a risk of dependence and withdrawal symptoms with prolonged use. Its use is heavily regulated, and it is not approved for medical use in several regions, including the United States.
