Mecloqualone (Nubarene, Casfen) is an analogue of methaqualone which was first made in 1960[1] and marketed mainly in France and some other European countries. It has sedative, hypnotic and anxiolytic properties, and was used for the treatment of insomnia.[2] Mecloqualone is faster acting but shorter lasting than methaqualone and so was used only as a sleeping pill[3], in contrast to methaqualone which was used as a general purpose anxiolytic as well. Mecloqualone was never as widely used as methaqualone and is no longer prescribed because of concerns about its potential for abuse and overdose.
