Benactyzine, an anticholinergic drug, had been used as an antidepressant in the treatment of depression and associated anxiety. It is no longer used in medicine due to its ineffectiveness but is widely used in scientific research. Benactyzine is a muscarinic antagonist which also inhibits the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
