Methaqualone was first synthesized in India in 1955 by scientists trying to find a cure for malaria. The drug was ineffective against the disease, but not as a central nervous system depressant â and if a user could resist its sedative effects, a user could get high.
Methaqualone, sold under the brand name Quaalude (KWAY-lood, \ËkwÄ-ËlÃ¼d\) in the US and Mandrax in the UK and South Africa, is a sedative and hypnotic medication. It is a member of the quinazolinone class. The sedativeâhypnotic activity of methaqualone was first noted by researchers in the 1950s.
