Description

Clofenciclan is a dopamine-releasing agent, developed by Boehringer & Soehne in the 1950s for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Compared to other anti-parkinsonian drugs of the time, clofenciclan lacked peripheral anticholinergic properties and caused pronounced stimulation of the central nervous system.
