Diphenylmethylpiperazine, also known as benzhydrylpiperazine, is a chemical compound and piperazine derivative. It features a piperazine ring with a benzhydryl (diphenylmethyl) group bound to one of the nitrogens.[1][2] Cyclizine, an antihistamine and anticholinergic drug used to treat motion sickness, is the methylated derivative of diphenylmethylpiperazine.
