Overview

A thienodiazepine is a heterocyclic compound containing a diazepine ring fused to a thiophene ring. The thienodiazepine ring structure forms the central core of several pharmaceutical drugs. Since thienodiazepines interact with the benzodiazepine receptor site, they typically have similar effects as benzodiazepines and can be considered as essentially identical. PW
