Isotonitazepyne (N-pyrrolidino isotonitazene) is a benzimidazole derivative with potent opioid effects, which has been sold as a designer drug over the internet. It was first detected in Russia in 2022,[1] and has since been found around the world, tentatively identified in New Zealand in 2023 though it can be difficult to distinguish from the isomeric compound protonitazepyne.[2] It is specifically listed as an illegal drug in the US state of Virginia.[3]
