Metodesnitazene (also known as Metazene) is a benzimidazole derivative with opioid effects, though unlike related compounds such as metonitazene and etodesnitazene which are quite potent, metodesnitazene is only around the same potency as morphine in animal studies.[1][2][3][4][5] It is illegal in both the US and UK.
