Nitromethaqualone:
Iupac name: 3-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-2-methylquinazolin-4-one
CAS NO: 340-52-3
Chemical Formula: C16H13N3O4
Mol. Wt.: 311.29 g•mol−1
Nitromethaqualone is an analogue of methaqualone that has similar sedative and hypnotic properties. It is significantly more potent (10x) compared to the parent compound; the typical dose is approximately 25 mg. However, the aromatic nitro group is metabolised to the corresponding aniline, which proved to be a mutagen. As a consequence, nitromethaqualone was not developed further due to toxicity concerns.
