Alprazolam triazolobenzophenone is a chemical compound that is a prodrug for the benzodiazepine derivative alprazolam. At neutral pH it readily cyclizes to alprazolam. But in acidic conditions it undergoes a ring-opening reaction back to the ketone. A series of related acyl derivatives were researched in the 1980s as injectable water-soluble prodrugs of alprazolam, but were never developed for medical use. This compound was first identified from a seizure that took place in Spain in March of 2014.
