Trichloroform (CHLOROFORM)

FDA-approved withdrawn Small molecule Quality 6/100

Chloroform, a general anesthetic agent, is currently marketed but lacks a specified primary indication or revenue data. Its key strength lies in its well-established mechanism of action through the central nervous system, which has been utilized for inducing anesthesia. However, the primary risk is the competitive landscape, with multiple off-patent alternatives such as halothane, enflurane, isoflurane, desflurane, and sevoflurane, all of which are widely available as generics.
