N-Desalkylflurazepam (also known as Norflurazepam) is a benzodiazepine analog and an active metabolite of several other benzodiazepine drugs including flurazepam,[2] flutoprazepam,[3] fludiazepam,[4] midazolam,[5] quazepam,[6] and ethyl loflazepate.[7][8] It is long-acting, prone to accumulation, and binds unselectively to the various benzodiazepine receptor subtypes.[6] It has been sold as a designer drug from 2016 onward.
