Acylurea
Acylureas (also called N-acylureas or ureides) are a class of chemical compounds formally derived from the acylation of urea. Apronal and Acylurea are ureas.
Barbiturate
Barbiturates are a class of depressant drugs that are chemically derived from barbituric acid. Apronal and Barbiturate are Hypnotics.
Bromoureide
Bromoureides are sedative-hypnotics available mainly in Europe and Asia, including acecarbromal, bromisoval, and carbromal (Horowitz, 1997). Apronal and Bromoureide are Hypnotics, sedatives and ureas.
Chemical structure
A chemical structure of a molecule is a spatial arrangement of its atoms and their chemical bonds.
See Apronal and Chemical structure
Drug
A drug is any chemical substance other than a nutrient or an essential dietary ingredient, which, when administered to a living organism, produces a biological effect.
See Apronal and Drug
Heterocyclic compound
A heterocyclic compound or ring structure is a cyclic compound that has atoms of at least two different elements as members of its ring(s).
See Apronal and Heterocyclic compound
Hypnotic
Hypnotic (from Greek Hypnos, sleep), or soporific drugs, commonly known as sleeping pills, are a class of (and umbrella term for) psychoactive drugs whose primary function is to induce sleep (or surgical anesthesiaWhen used in anesthesia to produce and maintain unconsciousness, "sleep" is metaphorical as there are no regular sleep stages or cyclical natural states; patients rarely recover from anesthesia feeling refreshed and with renewed energy. Apronal and Hypnotic are Hypnotics.
Japan
Japan is an island country in East Asia, located in the Pacific Ocean off the northeast coast of the Asian mainland.
Kidney
In humans, the kidneys are two reddish-brown bean-shaped blood-filtering organs that are a multilobar, multipapillary form of mammalian kidneys, usually without signs of external lobulation.
Racemic mixture
In chemistry, a racemic mixture or racemate is one that has equal amounts of left- and right-handed enantiomers of a chiral molecule or salt.

Sedative
A sedative or tranquilliser is a substance that induces sedation by reducing irritability or excitement. Apronal and sedative are sedatives.
Therapeutic Goods Administration
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is the medicine and therapeutic regulatory agency of the Australian Government.

Thrombocytopenic purpura
Thrombocytopenic purpura are purpura associated with a reduction in circulating blood platelets which can result from a variety of causes, such as kaposi sarcoma.
See Apronal and Thrombocytopenic purpura
Urea
Urea, also called carbamide (because it is a diamide of carbonic acid), is an organic compound with chemical formula. Apronal and Urea are ureas.
