Apronal (brand name Sedormid), or apronalide, also known as allylisopropylacetylurea or allylisopropylacetylcarbamide, is a hypnotic/sedative drug of the ureide (acylurea) group synthesized in 1926[1] by Hoffmann-La Roche. Though it is not a barbiturate, apronal is similar in structure to the barbiturates (being an open-chain carbamide instead of having a heterocyclic ring).[2] In accordance, it is similar in action to the barbiturates, although considerably milder in comparison (formerly used as a daytime sedative at doses of 1 to 2 grams every 3 to 4 hours).[2] Upon the finding that it caused patients to develop thrombocytopenic purpura, apronal was withdrawn from clinical use.[3]
Medicines with apronal are no longer used except in Japan and South Korea.[3][4] Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration issued a safety alert in May 2023 which prohibits the sale, supply and use of Japanese EVE-branded products in Australia[5] due to its dangerous side effects.
