Extract

In February, 1955, Howard D. Fabing described in Science (Fabing, 1955a) a clinical study using the drug azacyclonal hydrochloride (Frenquel), alpha-(4-piperidyl) benzhydrol hydrochloride. This drug is the gamma-isomer of Meratran which, although chemically similar, alpha-(2-piperidyl) benzhydrol hydrochlroide, has a rather different action. Brown and Werner (unpublished but referred to by Fabing, 1955a) reported that Frenquel prevents or diminishes central stimulation induced in the mouse by various agents, whereas Meratran has a stimulant action.
