Metabolite Identification
Common NameCyproheptadine
DescriptionCyproheptadine, also known as ciprovit or antergan, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dibenzocycloheptenes. Dibenzocycloheptenes are compounds containing a dibenzocycloheptene moiety, which consists of two benzene rings connected by a cycloheptene ring. Cyproheptadine is a drug which is used for treatment of perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis due to inhalant allergens and foods, mild uncomplicated allergic skin manifestations of urticaria and angioedema, amelioration of allergic reactions to blood or plasma, cold urticaria, dermatographism, and as therapy for anaphylactic reactions adjunctive to epinephrine. Cyproheptadine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). In humans, cyproheptadine is involved in cyproheptadine h1-antihistamine action. It is a sedating antihistamine with antimuscarinic and calcium-channel blocking actions. Unlike other antihistamines, it is also a seratonin receptor antagonist, making it useful in conditions such as vascular headache and anorexia. The product resulting from the formal oxidative coupling of position 5 of 5H-dibenzocycloheptene with position 4 of 1-methylpiperidine resulting in the formation of a double bond between the two fragments. Cyproheptadine is a potentially toxic compound. It is used (particularly as the hydrochloride sesquihydrate) for the relief of allergic conditions including rhinitis, conjunctivitis due to inhalant allergens and foods, urticaria and angioedema, and in pruritic skin disorders.
