Beschreibung

General description

Doxylamine belongs to the ethanolaime class of antihistamines and is metabolized by the liver into N-demethyl doxylamine and N,N-didemethyl doxylamine.[1] It is generally available as an over the counter (OTC) drug for allergy and cold symptoms.[2]

Application

Doxylamine succinate salt has been used as a therapeutic drug to check developmental toxicity.[3]

Doxylamine succinate salt has been used to study the effects of non-teratogenic exposures on morphology and gene expression in human embryonic stem cell aggregates (HESCA)-CSR, under low concentration of retinoic acid in CS medium.[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

H₁ histamine receptor antagonist; hypnotic.
Doxylamine suppresses histamine at the H1 receptor.[1] It is associated with the short term management of insomnia and temporary relief of common cold symptoms. On the other hand, doxylamine intoxication is linked with rhabdomyolysis and secondary acute renal failure.[5]
Studies in mice show that doxylamine induces liver microsomal cytochrome P450 and other enzymes involved in thyroxine (T4) metabolism.[2] In combination with pyridoxine hydrochloride, this drug is used to treat morning sickness.
