Thienotriazolodiazepine



A thienotriazolodiazepine is a heterocyclic compound containing a diazepine ring fused to thiophene and triazole rings. Thienotriazolodiazepine forms the central core of several pharmaceutical drugs including:
 * α-Hydroxyetizolam
 * Brotizolam
 * Ciclotizolam
 * Clotizolam
 * Deschloroclotizolam
 * Deschloroetizolam
 * Etizolam
 * Flubrotizolam
 * Fluclotizolam
 * Fluetizolam
 * Metizolam

Thienotriazolodiazepines interact with the benzodiazepine receptor site, they typically have similar effects as 1,4-benzodiazepines (such as diazepam) and triazolobenzodiazepines (such as alprazolam).

Thienotriazolodiazepines that are not GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulators include:
 * Apafant
 * Israpafant
 * JQ1
