The well known rôle of the sympathetic nervous system in hypertension has led to search for sympatholytic drugs for therapeutic purposes. An extensive study of the sympatholytic agent, N-N-dibenzyl-β-chlorethylamine (Dibenamine2) in experimental animals has revealed the following pharmacological effects:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (1) blockade of the usual pressor response to epinephrine and replacement by a depressor response; (2) prevention of ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation, ordinarily produced by toxic doses of epinephrine in dogs; (3) production of miosis and extension of the nictitating membrane in cats; (4) reduction of experimentally induced renal hypertension in rats and dogs;
