Also known as CB-1678, WY-1359, 3-propionyl-10-dimethylaminoisopropylphenothiazine, 10-(2-dimethylaminopropyl)-2-propionylphenothiazine, 2-propionyl-10-[2-(dimethylamino)propyl]phenothiazine

Propiomazine, sold under the brand name Propavan among others, is an antihistamine which is used to treat insomnia and to produce sedation and relieve anxiety before or during surgery or other procedures and in combination with analgesics as well as during labor. Propiomazine is a phenothiazine, but is not used therapeutically as a neuroleptic because it does not block dopamine receptors well.
