CAR-302,196(also known asPCMGor just by its code number302196) is a moderately potent and relatively short lastinganticholinergicdeliriantdrug, related to thechemical warfare agent3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate(QNB). It was developed under contract toEdgewood Arsenalduring the 1960s as part of theUS military chemical weapons program,during research to improve upon the properties of earlier agents such as QNB.

CAR-302,196 was found to be only around 1/4 the potency of QNB, but its onset of action was much faster at only a few minutes, and the duration far shorter at only 2–3 hours. A fast-acting and short-lasting anticholinergic drug was felt to be more desirable for some applications.[1][2]
