Diphenylhydantoin

/ˌdaɪfɛnɪlhaɪˈdæntɔɪn/ noun

Definition

A medication used to treat seizures and prevent convulsions, also known as phenytoin or Dilantin.

Etymology

From di- (two) + phenyl (aromatic groups) + hydantoin (a five-membered ring containing nitrogen and oxygen). Developed in Germany in 1908 and became one of the first widely-used synthetic anticonvulsant drugs.

Kelly Says

Diphenylhydantoin was one of the first 'smart drugs' that actually worked—before it was discovered, epilepsy was largely untreatable, but this compound gave millions of people back their independence and safety.
