Description

Bufenadrine is a derivative of diphenhydramine. The compound was originally developed as an anti-motion sickness drug. Prolonged toxicity studies in rats, however, showed liver toxicity, and no further clinical evaluation was undertaken. Investigation of the metabolism showed that (-)-bufenadrine was enantiomer, exclusively responsible for toxic activities of the racemic compound.
