Description
(extracted from source data)
DESCRIPTION Pyrilamine is a first generation antihistamine, but it crosses the blood-brain barrier easily and causes substantial drowsiness.
INDICATION Indicated for the treatment of allergic conditions, symptomatic relief of hypersensitivity reaction, and treatment of pruritic skin disorders.
DESCRIPTION Mepyramine (also commonly referred to as pyrilamine) is a first generation antihistamine. As it can cross the blood-brain barrier easily it causes substantial drowsiness. (GtoPdb)
DESCRIPTION Highly selective standard H2 agonist (Tocris Bioactive Compound Library)
DESCRIPTION H1 Histamine receptor antagonist (LOPAC library)
DESCRIPTION Selective H1 inverse agonist (Tocriscreen Total)
DESCRIPTION Pyrilamine maleate salt is a first generation antihistamine and binds with high affinity to G(q/11) protein. It is commonly utilized as a radioligand binding assay for the H1 receptor. It also has anticholinergic properties. It is used in over-the-counter combination products to treat the common cold and menstrual symptoms. It is also the active ingredient of the topical antihistamine creams Anthisan and Neoantergan. It is also found to be a potent inhibitor of CYP2D6 in hepatocytes. It has been listed.
