Proxibarbital (Ipronal) is a barbiturate derivative synthesized in 1956. It has anti-anxiety properties and is, in contrast to most barbiturates, almost without hypnotic action. ^[1] It was also used in the treatment of migraine headaches in a similar manner to butalbital. ^[2]

Valofane isomerizes to proxibarbal in vivo . ^[3]
