Diclazepam

Diclazepam is a benzodiazepine and functional analog of diazepam (Valium). Leo Sternbach and colleagues at Hoffman-La Roche first synthesized it in 1960, but it is not approved for medical use and is instead sold as a research chemical. In animal models, diclazepam exhibits long-acting anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, and amnestic properties comparable to diazepam. Its efficacy and safety have not been evaluated in humans.
