CAR-301,060(also known ascis-2-Methyl-3-quinuclidinylphenylcyclopentylglycolateor just by its code number301060) is a potent and long 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-301,060 was found to be slightly less potent than QNB, and with around the same duration of action, but with a very high central to peripheral effects ratio.[1][2]
