Avizafone is a water-soluble peptide prodrug of diazepam that is hydrolyzed by an aminopeptidase to liberate lysine and diazepam Avizafone was developed by the French military to terminate seizures caused by battlefield nerve agents. Diazepam has a faster entry to the general circulation and achieved higher maximum concentration after injection of prodrug than after the parent drug and this is extremely valuable in nerve agents poisoning conditions.
