Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethapyrilene
DescriptionMethapyrilene, also known as lullamin or restryl, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dialkylarylamines. These are aliphatic aromatic amines in which the amino group is linked to two aliphatic chains and one aromatic group. Methapyrilene is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). In humans, methapyrilene is involved in methapyrilene h1-antihistamine action. It has relatively strong sedative effects, to the extent that its primary use was as a medication for insomnia rather than for its antihistamine action. All of these products were reformulated in the late 1970s when methapyrilene was demonstrated to cause liver cancer in rats when given chronically. Together with scopolamine, it was the main ingredient in Sominex, Nytol, and Sleep-Eze. It was sold under the trade names Co-Pyronil and Histadyl EC. Methapyrilene is an antihistamine and anticholinergic of the pyridine chemical class which was developed in the early 1950s. The thionyl halides should not be confused with "thionylan" and include thionyl fluoride, thionyl chloride, and thionyl bromide. "Thionylan" redirects here. It also provided the sedative component of Excedrin PM. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Methapyrilene is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Methapyrilene is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
