[Protein synthesis is required for memory consolidation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_consolidation#Protein_synthesis), so you can use [protein synthesis inhibitor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_synthesis_inhibitor) to block formation of long term memories in theory. See [Gold. Protein synthesis inhibition and memory: formation vs amnesia (2008)](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18054504) for example.
