Description

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. It is generally available as an over the counter (OTC) drug for allergy and cold symptoms.

Application

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.

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

Biochem/physiol Actions

H₁ histamine receptor antagonist; hypnotic.
Doxylamine suppresses histamine at the H1 receptor. 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.
Studies in mice show that doxylamine induces liver microsomal cytochrome P450 and other enzymes involved in thyroxine (T4) metabolism. In combination with pyridoxine hydrochloride, this drug is used to treat morning sickness.
