Chlormezanone (marketed under the brand name Trancopal) is drug used as an anxiolytic and a muscle relaxant.

It was discontinued worldwide in 1996 by its manufacturer, due to rare but serious cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis.

The image on this page is incorrect. There is no pyridine ring. The chlorine is connected to a benzene ring as is state in the IUPAC name.
