CAR-302,196 (also known as PCMG or just by its code number 302196) is a moderately potent and relatively short lasting

Edgewood Arsenal during the 1960s as part of the US military chemical weapons program
, during research to improve upon the properties of earlier agents such as QNB.

CAR-302,196 was found to be only around 1/4 the potency of QNB, but its onset of action was much faster at only a few minutes, and the duration far shorter at only 2–3 hours. A fast-acting and short-lasting anticholinergic drug was felt to be more desirable for some applications.[1][2]
