Tifluadom is a benzodiazepine derivative with an unusual activity profile. Unlike most benzodiazepines, tifluadom has no activity as a GABAA agonist, but instead is a selective agonist for the κ-opioid receptor.[1] Tifluadom has potent analgesic[2] and diuretic[3] effects in animals, and also had sedative effects and stimulates appetite.[4][5]

While tifluadom has several effects which might have potential uses in medicine such as analgesia and appetite stimulation, κ-opioid agonists tend to produce undesirable effects in humans such as dysphoria and hallucinations, and so these drugs tend to only be used in scientific research.
