At this point, the treatment of ambulatory anxious patients with
meprobamate
psychotic patients with one of the
aminoalkylphenothiazine drugs
Structural modifications of benzodiazepine derivatives were undertaken, and a compound 5 to 10 times more potent than chlordiazepoxide was synthesized in 1959 and marketed as
diazepam (Valium)
