| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Meclizine is a histamine H1 receptor antagonist (Ki = 250 nM).1 Pretreatment with meclizine (2.5-30 mg/kg, i.p.) reduces ovalbumin-induced mast cell degranulation, edema, and leukocyte influx in rat lung.2 Formulations containing meclizine have been used in the treatment of motion sickness and vertigo. | [Chemical Properties]

Meclizine Dihydrochloride is a histamine H1 receptor antagonist with antiemetic properties. Meclizine Dihydrochloride is a research product for neuroscience. This compound may exhibit neuroprotective properties. | [Manufacturing Process]
32.3 g of 1-p-chlorobenzhydryl-4-benzyl-piperazine, dissolved in 300 cm3 of alcohol are heated in an autoclave vessel, in the presence of Raney nickel, under a pressure of 100 kg H2, at about 150°C for 6 hours. The catalyst is filtered, the solvent is evaporated and the residue is fractionated under a high vacuum. p-Chlorobenzylhydryl-piperazine (BP 180° to 185°C/1 mm Hg) is isolated with a yield of 75%. Then finely ground NaNH2 is added. The mixture is heated under reflux for 1 hour, the mass is cooled and a molar equivalent of m-methyl benzyl chloride is added.
The solvent is evaporated and the residue is dissolved in chloroform. This
solution is washed with a saturated solution of K2CO3 and dried on K2CO3. The
solvent is evaporated and the residue is distilled under high vacuum. The
product of the condensation distills near 230°C at 2 mm Hg pressure and the
corresponding dihydrochloride melts at 217° to 224°C. | [Brand name]

Antinauseant | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Meclizine has the ability to increase glycolysis and decrease cellular ATP levels in media that has glucose and galactose. It guards the kidney against ischemia-reperfusion injury. Meclizine is considered as an anti-nausea and anti-dizziness drug, was identified in a ′nutrient-sensitized′ chemical screen. In human, it acts as an agonist of pregnane X receptor (PXR). It enhances the expression of CYP3A4 (cytochrome P450 3A4) mRNA and reduces CYP3A-catalyzed testosterone 6β-hydroxylation in primary cultures of human hepatocytes. | [storage]
