Dr Leo Sternbach established in the late 1950s that Chlordiopoxide (Librium) sedated animals. he then went onto seperate a different molecule which he named DIAZEPAM and was in 1963, tradenamed VALIUM(r)and released onto the market-perhaps you have heard of it?-hehe
Apparently Dr Sternbach is still alive aged 96, or something?-remarkable
