Abstract
Derivatives of glutarimide are known to exert an effect upon the central nervous system. To name only two which are widely used for clinical purposes: Glutethimide (“Doriden”) is a sedative, Bemigride (“Megimide”) a stimulant. Preparation 16038 (Ciba) α-(p-aminophenyl)-α-ethyl glutarimide, in animal experiments had shown properties which suggested its use as an anticonvulsant, and this paper is an account of a clinical trial with the substance on in- and out-patients suffering from epilepsy.
