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