Proxibarbital

Chemical compound From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Proxibarbital (Ipronal) is a barbiturate derivative synthesized in 1956 in Poland by Bogusław Bobrański. It has anti-anxiety and sedative properties and is, in contrast to most barbiturates, almost without hypnotic action.[1] It was used as a sedative and anti-anxiety drug. It was also used in the treatment of migraine headaches in a similar manner to butalbital.[2] It was a prescription drug available in Poland from the 1950s to the 1990s under trade name Ipronal.
