Afloqualone (Arofuto) is a quinazolinone family GABAergic drug and is an analogue of methaqualone developed in the 1970s by a team at Tanabe Seiyaku.[1] It has sedative and muscle-relaxant effects resulting from its agonist activity at the β subtype of the GABAa receptor[2] and has had some clinical use, although it causes photosensitization as a side-effect that can cause skin problems such as dermatitis.[3]
