Mebroqualone

Mebroqualone is a Quinazolinone derivative and Sedative-hypnotic drug which is related to Methaqualone and Methylmethaqualone. It was developed in the 1960s and later became illegal due to its recreational use and the potential for addiction. It has a fast onset of action, but a short duration of effects.

Pharmacology

Mebroqualone differs from methaqualone by having a Bromine atom instead of a Methyl group at the 3-position of the quinazoline ring system. This makes it more potent than methaqualone, but also more toxic, especially to the liver.

History

Mebroqualone was first synthesized in the 1960s. It was used as a sedative and hypnotic drug in the treatment of Insomnia and Anxiety. However, it was later found to have a high potential for abuse and addiction, and was made illegal in many countries.

Legal status

Mebroqualone is a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States, and is also controlled under international drug treaties. It is illegal to manufacture, distribute, or possess without a license.
