Mebroqualone
Encyclopedia
Mebroqualone is an analogue of mecloqualone
which presumably has similar sedative
and hypnotic
properties to its parent compound. Mebroqualone differs from mecloqualone by having a bromine atom instead of a chlorine on the 3-phenyl ring. It was made illegal in Germany in 1998 but little other information is available, it would appear that this compound was sold on the black market in Germany as a designer drug analogue
of mecloqualone.
