Phenbenzamine, sold under the brand name Antergan and known by the former developmental code name RP-2339, is an antihistamine of the ethylenediamine class which also has anticholinergic properties.[1][2] It was introduced in 1941 or 1942 and was the first antihistamine to be introduced for medical use.[3][4][5] Soon following its introduction, phenbenzamine was replaced by another antihistamine of the same class known as mepyramine (pyrilamine; Neoantergan).[5][6] Following this, other antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine, promethazine, and tripelennamine, were developed and introduced.[5][7] Owing to their sedative effects, phenbenzamine and promethazine were assessed in the treatment of manic depression in France in the 1940s and were regarded as promising therapies for such purposes.[3] Whereas phenbenzamine was the first clinically useful antihistamine, piperoxan was the first compound with antihistamine properties to be discovered and was synthesized in the early 1930s.[7]

Chemistry

Synthesis

Phenbenzamine can be prepared by the reaction of N-benzylaniline with 2-chloroethyldimethylamine.[8][9]
