EA-3167
Encyclopedia
EA-3167 is a potent and long lasting anticholinergic
deliriant
drug, related to the chemical warfare agent 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate
(QNB). It was developed under contract to Edgewood Arsenal
during the 1960s as part of the US military chemical weapons program, in an attempt to develop non-lethal incapacitating agents. EA-3167 has identical effects to QNB, but is even more potent and longer lasting, with an effective dose when administered by injection of as little as 2.5μg/kg (i.e. 0.2 milligrams for an 80kg person), and a duration of 120-240 hours (5-10 days). However unlike QNB, EA-3167 was never weaponized or manufactured in bulk.
Anticholinergic
An anticholinergic agent is a substance that blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and the peripheral nervous system. An example of an anticholinergic is dicycloverine, and the classic example is atropine....
