Benapryzine (BAN Tooltip British Approved Name), or benaprizine (INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name), also known as benapryzine hydrochloride (USAN Tooltip United States Adopted Name in the case of the hydrochloride salt and sold under the brand name Brizin, is an antiparkinsonian agent and anticholinergic which has been used in the treatment of parkinsonism. [2] [3] [4] [1] As an anticholinergic, it is specifically a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist. [1] Structurally, benapryzine is a benzilate, and is closely related to other antimuscarinic benzilate derivatives like benactyzine. [4] The drug was first described in the literature by 1973.

Dosulepin, also known as dothiepin and sold under the brand name Prothiaden among others, is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) which is used in the treatment of depression. Dosulepin was once the most frequently prescribed antidepressant in the United Kingdom, but it is no longer widely used due to its relatively high toxicity in overdose without therapeutic advantages over other TCAs. It acts as a serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) and also has other activities including antihistamine, antiadrenergic, antiserotonergic, anticholinergic, and sodium channel-blocking effects.

EA-3167 is a potent and long-lasting anticholinergic deliriant drug, related to the chemical warfare agent 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) and to the bronchodilator drug tiotropium bromide. It was developed under contract to Edgewood Arsenal during the 1960s as part of the US military chemical weapons program, in an attempt to develop non-lethal incapacitating agents. EA-3167 has identical effects to QNB, but is even more potent and longer-lasting, with an effective dose when administered by injection of as little as 2.5 μg/kg, and a duration of 120–240 hours. However unlike QNB, EA-3167 was never weaponized or manufactured in bulk.
