Trional (Methylsulfonal) is a sedative-hypnotic[1] and anesthetic drug with GABAergic actions[citation needed]. It has similar effects to sulfonal, except it is faster acting.[2]
Trional was prepared and introduced by Eugen Baumann and Alfred Kast in 1888.[3]
Appeared in Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express, And Then There Were None, and other novels such as John Bude's The Lake District Murder as a sleep-inducing sedative; and in In Search of Lost Time (Sodom and Gomorrah) by Marcel Proust as a hypnotic. Sax Rohmer also references trional in his novel Dope.
