Structural properties and rotational dynamics of methyl groups in the most stable form of temazepam were investigated by means of (13)C CP MAS NMR, quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS), and (1)H NMR spin-lattice relaxation methods. The QENS and (1)H NMR studies reveal the inequivalency of methyl groups, delivering their activation parameters. The structural properties of the system were explored in frame of periodic density functional theory (DFT) computations, giving insight into the reorientational barriers and providing understanding of the solid-state NMR results. The theoretical computations are shedding light on the intermolecular interactions along their relation with particular asymmetric structural units.

Bipolar disorder type 1 (BD-1) is a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of mania and depression. While manic episodes typically present with classic symptoms such as impulsivity, elevated mood, and increased energy, atypical presentations are not as common and when encountered may pose diagnostic challenges. In addition, multiple previous hospitalizations can prove for a more nuanced case with a potentially worse prognosis.

Background: Substance use disorder and associated deaths have increased in the United States, but methods for detecting and monitoring substance use using rapid and unbiased techniques are lacking. Wastewater-based surveillance is a cost-effective method for monitoring community drug use. However, the examination of the results often focuses on descriptive analysis.

Benzodiazepine receptor agonists and related medications, such as Z-drugs and dual orexin receptor antagonists (BZDs), have been associated with unintentional traumatic injury due to their central nervous system (CNS)-depressant effects. Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) may contribute to the known relationship between BZD use and unintentional traumatic injury, yet evidence is still lacking. We conducted high-throughput pharmacoepidemiologic screening using the self-controlled case series design in a large US commercial health insurance database to identify potentially clinically relevant DDI signals among new users of BZDs.

In this work, the reaction of four benzodiazepines (diazepam, oxazepam, nordazepam and temazepam) during water chlorination was studied by means of liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS). For those compounds that showed a significant degradation, i.e.
