PRIMARY Nitromethaqualone is an analogue of methaqualone that has similar sedative and hypnotic properties. It is significantly more potent (10x) compared to the parent compound the typical dose is approximately 25 mg. However, the aromatic nitro group is metabolised to the corresponding aniline, which proved to be a mutagen. As a consequence, nitromethaqualone was not developed further due to toxicity concerns.

PRIMARY With respect to nitromethaqualone: This compound is metabolized to 2-methoxy-4-nitroaniline, 2-methyl-3-(2'-methoxy-4'-aminophenyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinone and 2-methyl-3-(2'-methoxy-4'-acetylaminophenyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinone (see: Verhandelingen - Koninklijke Academie voor Geneeskunde van Belgie 1979, 41(4), p.275 later confirmed in: J Pharm Sci 1982, 71(10), p.1152). Of these three metabolites is the first one reportedly mutagenic (see: Annales des Falsifications de l'Expertise Chimique et Toxicologique 1987, 80(854), p.25), and the last one is produced from nitromethaqualone via the likewise mutagenic N-nitroso and N-hydroxy-intermediates.
