The anxiolytic and tranquillizing effect of a new compound called parsalmide was studied in a group of 20 patients suffering from medium anxiety neurosis. The new drug also possesses anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. The technique employed was the double blind, between patients, crossover system and chlordiazepoxide was used for comparison purposes. Parsalmide proved to possess an anxiolytic-tranquillizing action comparable to that of chlordiazepoxide and, unlike the latter, was quite free from unpleasant side effects, such as somnolence and asthenia.
