10/01/1964 - "The ganglion blocking actions of mephenesin, procaine, methylpentynol, methylpentynol carbamate and benactyzine were nonspecific, showing general depression of neuronal activity. "
10/01/1964 - "It is concluded that the ganglion-blocking action of methylpentynol, paraldehyde and procainamide arises from a nonspecific depression of both presynaptic and postsynaptic elements in the ganglion, but that barbiturate compounds act more specifically on the acetylcholine receptor."
