Alprazolam/Xanax (Now in 3-D!)

Category: Drugs
Posted on: August 20, 2007 7:36 PM, by Molecule of the Day

I have alluded multiple times (see here and here) to the ubiquity of benzodiazepines in modern medicine. Xanax is one very popular one:

InChI=1/C17H13ClN4/c1-11-20-21-16-10-19-17(12-5-3-2-4-6-12)14-9-13(18)7-8-15(14)22(11)16/h2-9H,10H2,1H3


Xanax is just another benzodiazepine, but it's mostly used in antianxiety roles. Its triazole ring is unique; it's a heterocycle you don't see too often.


More importantly, Xanax is special enough to warrant HOLOGRAM ADS (Fair use image from Wikipedia, see contact link for removal requests):
