Itasetron (U 98079A) is a 5-hydroxytryptamine 3-receptor antagonist used to prevent age-related memory deficits in rats.Itasetron's antiemetic activity in animal models of cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be useful in the study of amnesia.

Nonabine is a compound with strong antiemetic properties that can be used to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy.

Litoxetine is a selective 5-HT uptake inhibitor and is a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Litoxetine acts as an antidepressant and has shown antiemetic properties in ferrets. Litoxetine (1 and 10 mg kg i.v.) dose-dependently reduced the number of regurgitations and vomiting and delayed the onset of vomiting. Litoxetine has an affinity for brain 5HT3 receptors (Ki = 85 nM).

Benzoquinamide hydrochloride (3-carbamoyl-N,N-diethyl-1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-9,11-dimethoxy-2H-benzo[a]quinolizin-2-yl acetate hydrochloride) is an antiemetic agent and increases intra-arterial pressure due to the increased peripheral vascular resistance.

Hydroxyzine Pamoate (Bobsule) is a histamine H1 receptor antagonist that is effective in the treatment of chronic urticaria, dermatitis, and histamine-mediated pruritus. Unlike its major metabolite CETIRIZINE, it does cause drowsiness. It is also effective as an antiemetic, for relief of anxiety and tension, and as a sedative.

Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (DPH) is a histamine H1 antagonist used as an antitussive and antiemetic. It is also used for pruritus and dermatoses, for hypersensitivity reactions, as an antiparkinson, a hypnotic, and as an ingredient in common cold preparations.

Promazine hydrochloride (Romtiazin hydrochloride) is a phenothiazine with actions similar to CHLORPROMAZINE but with less antipsychotic activity. It is primarily used in short-term treatment of disturbed behavior and as an antiemetic.

Phenothiazine (ENT 38) is a class of agents exhibiting antiemetic, antipsychotic, antihistaminic, and anticholinergic activities. Phenothiazines antagonize the dopamine D2-receptor in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the brain, potentially preventing chemotherapy-induced emesis.

Diphenidol hydrochloride (Difenidol hydrochloride), a muscarinic antagonist, is employed as an anti-vertigo and as an antiemetic drug.

Cinnarizine (Stugeron) is a piperazine derivative having histamine H1-receptor and calcium-channel blocking activity with vasodilating and antiemetic properties but it induces PARKINSONIAN DISORDERS.

Granisetron hydrochloride (Granisetron HCl) is a serotonin receptor (5HT-3 selective) antagonist that has been used as an antiemetic for cancer chemotherapy patients.

Metoclopramide hydrochloride (Metoclopramide HCl) is a selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, used as an antiemetic.

Tropisetron hydrochloride (Tropisetron HCl) is the hydrochloride salt form of tropisetron, a selective, competitive serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist, with antinauseant and antiemetic activities.

Bromopride (Valopride) is a dopamine antagonist with prokinetic properties closely related to metoclopramide, and is widely used as an antiemetic. It is not available in the United States or the United Kingdom.

Diphenhydramine (Syntedril), a first-generation antihistamine possessing antiemetic, antitussive, anticholinergic, and sedative properties, is mainly used in the treatment of allergies. Diphenhydramine is also used in the management of drug-induced parkinsonism and other extrapyramidal symptoms.

Hydroxyzine dihydrochloride (Hydroxyzine 2HCl) is a histamine H1 receptor antagonist that is effective in the treatment of chronic urticaria, dermatitis, and histamine-mediated pruritus. Unlike its major metabolite CETIRIZINE, it does cause drowsiness. It is also effective as an antiemetic, for relief of anxiety and tension, and as a sedative.

Metoclopramide (5-Chloro-2-methoxyprocainamide) is a dopamine D2 antagonist which has been used for treatment of a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms over the last thirty years. In various countries, metoclopramide is the antiemetic drug of choice in pregnant women. Findings provide reassurance regarding the safety of metoclopramide for the fetus when the drug is given to women to relieve nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Evidence also supports its use for gastroparesis (poor stomach emptying) and gastroesophageal reflux disease. It appears to bind to dopamine D2 receptors where it is a receptor antagonist, and is also a mixed 5-HT3 receptor antagonist 5-HT4 receptor agonist.

Trimethobenzamide hydrochloride (Ro 2-9578) is a blocker of the D2 receptor. Trimethobenzamide is an antiemetic used to prevent nausea and vomiting.
