Pynazolam

Pynazolam is a triazolobenzodiazepine derivative first invented in the 1970s, which has in more recent years been sold online as a designer drug. Anecdotal reports and in silico studies suggest it has relatively potent hypnotic and sedative effects. Pynazolam is a powerful serotonin releaser similar to nimetazepam which increases hypnotic activity and euphoria. Anecdotal evidence has also suggested that it's subjective effects are similar to methaqualone although unlike methaqualone, it cannot be smoked due to high melting-point.

Limited pharmacological data is available although their is an increasing availability of the compound for research purposes.
