<unk>  (INN; marketed under brand names Nordaz, Stilny, Madar, Vegesan, and Calmday; also known as<unk> , desoxydemoxepam, and desmethyldiazepam) is a 1,4-benzodiazepine derivative. Like other benzodiazepine derivatives, it has amnesic, anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, muscle relaxant, and sedative properties. However, it is used primarily in the treatment of anxiety disorders. It is an active metabolite of diazepam, chlordiazepoxide, clorazepate, prazepam, pinazepam, and medazepam.<unk>  is among the longest lasting (longest half-life) benzodiazepines, and its occurrence as a metabolite is responsible for most cumulative side-effects of its myriad of pro-drugs when they are used repeatedly at moderate-high doses; the<unk>  metabolite oxazepam is also active (and is a more potent, full BZD-site agonist), which contributes to<unk>  cumulative side-effects but occur too minutely to contribute to the cumulative side-effects of<unk>  pro-drugs (except when they are abused chronically in extremely supra-therapeutic doses).
