CAS 51753-57-2: Phenazepam

Description: Phenazepam is a benzodiazepine derivative known for its anxiolytic, sedative, and muscle relaxant properties. It is characterized by its ability to enhance the effects of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the GABA-A receptor, leading to increased inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Phenazepam is often used in clinical settings for the treatment of anxiety disorders, insomnia, and certain types of seizures. However, it is also associated with a risk of dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms, particularly with prolonged use. Due to its psychoactive effects, phenazepam is classified as a controlled substance in several countries, and its use should be carefully monitored. As with other benzodiazepines, potential side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, and cognitive impairment, making it essential for users to exercise caution, especially when operating machinery or driving.
