Pynazolam is a triazolobenzodiazepine derivative which has been sold online as a designer drug. It was first described in the 1970s by a team led by Leo Sternbach,^[1] but it was never marketed.

In silico studies suggest it has relatively potent hypnotic and sedative effects.^[2] Further research is limited, and thus very little is known about the drug's pharmacological properties.
