Desmethylflunitrazepam is a benzodiazepine that occurs naturally as a metabolite of flunitrazepam and has been distributed as a designer drug and research chemical. It acts on the GABAA receptor, producing sedative, anxiolytic, and muscle relaxant effects typical of its class. As an understudied research chemical derived from a notably potent parent compound, its safety profile and long-term risks remain poorly characterized.
