Diethylthiambutene (Thiambutene, Themalon, Diethibutin, N,N-Diethyl-1-methyl-3,3-di-2-thienylallylamine) is an opioid analgesic drug developed in the 1950s [1] which was mainly used as an anesthetic in veterinary medicine and continues, along with the other two thiambutenes Dimethylthiambutene and Ethylmethylthiambutene to be used for this purpose, particularly in Japan. .[2][3] It is now under international control under Schedule I of the UN Single Convention On Narcotic Drugs 1961, presumably due to high abuse potential, although little more information is available.
