P M 1090 is a powerful convulsant, which is related pharmacologically to pentamethylenetetrazol, and which produces seizures when given orally. Grand mal seizures produced by the administration of this drug in 18 patients with chronic schizophrenia produced as good if not better results than would have been anticipated with electroshock therapy. There were no aurae, and complete amnesia for the seizures developed. Only minor toxic side effects were noted.
