The imidazopyridines are a class of sedative drugs related (in terms of their effect) to benzodiazepines. They include:

  • Zolpidem (Ambien)
  • Alpidem
  • Saripidem
  • Necopidem

As they are not chemically related to the benzodiazepines despite their similar effect, such drugs—as well as the pyrazolopyrimidines and cyclopyrrones—are sometimes grouped together and referred to as "nonbenzodiazepines".
