Trimetozine Explained
Trimetozine (Opalene, Trimolide, Trioxazine) is a sedative that has been marketed in Europe since 1959.[1] [2] It also has mild tranquilizing effects and has been used in the treatment of anxiety.[3] [4] Its mechanism of action is unclear.
Conversion of the amide in trimetozine to the thioamide gives Tritiozine.
