Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6256788

Fenmetozole is an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonist which was developed for the treatment of schizophrenic and/or depressed patients, however never reached the market. It was also shown that the drug may reduce symptoms of minimal brain dysfunction in children and antagonize the effect of barbiturates and ethanol.
