8-chloro-6-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-methyl-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]benzodiazepine
Triazolam is a short-acting benzodiazepine with hypnotic effects, primarily used for the treatment of sleep disorders. It acts by enhancing GABAergic inhibition in the central nervous system. Due to its mechanism of action, dependence and withdrawal symptoms may occur. The substance should be used with caution, especially with prolonged use.

Receptor Profile
Der GABA-A-Rezeptor ist ein ligandengesteuerter Chloridkanal und der wichtigste inhibitorische Rezeptor im zentralen Nervensystem. Er besitzt multiple allosterische Bindungsstellen für verschiedene Substanzklassen.
Synapedia Evidence
Effects & Pharmacology is partially translated. Some details are still being expanded.
Triazolam ist ein ultrakurz wirksames Triazolobenzodiazepin mit der kürzesten Halbwertszeit aller zugelassenen Benzodiazepine (1.5-5.5h). Positiv-allosterischer Modulator an GABAA-Rezeptoren an der Benzodiazepinbindungsstelle. Die Triazol-Ringstruktur (gemeinsam mit Alprazolam) verleiht neben dem klassischen Benzodiazepin-Profil ausgeprägtere euphorische Eigenschaften. CYP3A4-Substrat — signifikante pharmakokinetische Interaktionen mit CYP3A4-Inhibitoren (Azol-Antimykotika, HIV-Proteasehemmer, Grapefruitsaft erhöhen die Triazolam-Exposition erheblich). Die extrem kurze Halbwertszeit erzeugt intensive anterograde Amnesie ohne prolongierte Sedierung — dieses Profil macht Triazolam besonders gefährlich als K.O.-Substanz. Charakteristisch ist zudem ausgeprägtes Rebound-Phänomen: Rebound-Insomnie und Angst noch in der zweiten Nachthälfte nach abendlicher Einnahme (Rückkehr von Entzugssymptomen innerhalb einer Einzeldosierungsperiode bei kurzer Halbwertszeit).
