A Klingon nerve gas.  Instantly lethal if used in its pure form, when diluted with alcohol theragen deadens certain nerve endings in the brain, making it an effective defense against insanity caused by the deteriorating effects of interspace. Someone who has taken the derivative could be hit by full phaser stun and won't feel it.  (TOS "The Tholian Web")
