Never used in canon.
Trek notes:
A Klingon nerve gas, theragen is instantly lethal if used in its pure
form. When diluted with alcohol, however, it 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")
