Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Name of a drug (sedative)
Polish term or phrase: cyklotropin
In fact, it's a theatre script I'm working on. One character says:

"Cyklotropin dodam ochroniarzowi Duncana (...)"

Is 'cyclotropine' the correct English version of 'cyklotropin'? (It doesn't 'google' well at all - only one hit). But the other variations I've tried are even worse. Zero. Or is it the correct Englsih word something else entirely?

All help most gratefully received :-)

Explanation:
"doesn't google well" is putting it mildly... the word seems to have only been used in fiction.

Since you're working on fiction, get creative!

If I had to make wild guesses here, I'd think that "cyclotropin" might refer to a -class- of drugs or chemicals rather than a specific one. "cyclotropine" or "cyclotrophine" sound like more definite names for a specific compound, rather than for a family.

It's all Greek to me...
