Midazolam is poorly absorbed orally, with only 50% of the drug reaching the bloodstream. [16] Midazolam is metabolised by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and by glucuronide conjugation. Oxidation of midazolam is the major metabolite in human liver microsome (HLM). [68] The half life (t 1 ⁄ 2) of midazolam in HLM is 3.3 minutes. [68]
The tables below contain a sample list of benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine analogs that are commonly prescribed, with their basic pharmacological characteristics, such as half-life and equivalent doses to other benzodiazepines, also listed, along with their trade names and primary uses.

In a study in rats, cross-tolerance between the benzodiazepine drug chlordiazepoxide and bretazenil has been demonstrated. [11] In a primate study bretazenil was found to be able to replace the full agonist diazepam in diazepam dependent primates without precipitating withdrawal effects, demonstrating cross tolerance between bretazenil and benzodiazepine agonists, whereas other partial ...
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] flutazolam, [6] quazepam, [7] and ethyl loflazepate.
Ethyl loflazepate [2] (marketed under the brand names Meilax, Ronlax and Victan) [3] [4] [5] is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. [6]
