emesis

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.

Fosaprepitant dimeglumine (MK-0517) is the dimeglumine salt form of fosaprepitant, a water-soluble, N-phosphorylated prodrug of aprepitant with antiemetic activity. Upon intravenous administration and rapid conversion to aprepitant, this agent selectively binds to human substance P neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors in the central nervous system (CNS), inhibiting receptor binding of endogenous substance P and preventing substance P-induced emesis.

Rolapitant (SCH619734) hydrochloride is a potent, selective, long-acting, and orally active neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor antagonist with a K_i of 0.66 nM, which does not interact with CYP3A4 and demonstrates potent centrally-mediated anti-emetic activity in both acute and delayed ferret emesis models [1] [2].

SSR-241586 is a neurokinin receptors antagonist,and is shown to be active in the treatment of depression, schizophrenia, urinary trouble, emesis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Nivalenol is a fungal metabolite produced by Fusarium graminearum. Nivalenol induces cell death through caspase and intrinsic apoptotic pathways thus affecting the immune system and causing emesis, growth retardation, and reproductive disorders.

RS14203, an orally active inhibitor of type IV cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE IV), has the capability to induce emesis.

Dazopride fumarate is a peristaltic used to enhance gastric emptying and block emesis.

4-deoxy Nivalenol-13C15is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 4-deoxy nivalenol by GC- or LC-MS. 4-deoxy Nivalenol is a trichothecene mycotoxin that has been found inFusarium.1It binds to eukaryotic ribosomes and inhibits protein synthesis in mice when administered at doses ranging from 5 to 25 mg/kg. 4-deoxy Nivalenol (0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg) induces emesis in pigs and decreases feed consumption in pigs when administered at a dose of 40 ppb in the diet.2It induces lethality in mice (LD50= 46-78 mg/kg).34-deoxy Nivalenol has been found inF. graminearum-infected cereal grains such as wheat, barley, and corn. 1.Pestka, J.J., and Smolinski, A.T.Deoxynivalenol: Toxicology and potential effects on humansJ.Toxicol.Environ.Health B.Crit.Rev.8(1)39-69(2005) 2.Forsyth, D.M., Yoshizawa, T., Morooka, N., et al.Emetic and refusal activity of deoxynivalenol to swineAppl.

Rolapitant (SCH619734) Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of rolapitant, an orally bioavailable, centrally-acting, selective, neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-receptor) antagonist with potential antiemetic activity. Upon oral administration, rolapitant competitively binds to and blocks the activity of the NK1-receptor in the central nervous system, thereby inhibiting the binding of the endogenous ligand, substance P (SP). This may prevent both SP-induced emesis and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). The interaction of SP with the NK1-receptor plays a key role in the induction of nausea and vomiting caused by emetogenic cancer chemotherapy. Compared to other NK1-receptor antagonists, rolapitant has both a more rapid onset of action and a much longer half-life.

Fabesetron (FK1052) is an orally active compound that acts as a dual antagonist of 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors, demonstrating efficacy in managing emesis induced by cancer chemotherapy and showing potential for addressing both acute and delayed symptoms.

Rolapitant, also known as SCH-619734, is an orally bioavailable, centrally-acting, selective, neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-receptor) antagonist with potential antiemetic activity. Upon oral administration, rolapitant competitively binds to and blocks the activity of the NK1-receptor in the central nervous system, thereby inhibiting the binding of the endogenous ligand, substance P (SP). This may prevent both SP-induced emesis and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). The interaction of SP with the NK1-receptor plays a key role in the induction of nausea and vomiting caused by emetogenic cancer chemotherapy.

Bromopride hydrochloride is the salt form of Bromopride, a dopamine D2 receptor blocker. Bromopride exerts is a gastrointestinal prokinetic exploited clinically for the management of motor disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract, including functional dyspepsia, gastric stasis of various origins and emesis.

Cam 2445 is a nonpeptide, alpha-methyltryptophan derivative; an NK1 neurokinin receptor antagonist that is a potentially useful treatment for arthritis, asthma, migraine, anxiety, psychosis, and emesis.

RG 12915 is a potent, selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist developed for the treatment of emesis and nausea associated with cancer chemotherapy.

Fosaprepitant-d4 Dimeglumine is a deuterated compound of Fosaprepitant Dimeglumine. Fosaprepitant Dimeglumine has a CAS number of 265121-04-8. Fosaprepitant Dimeglumine is the dimeglumine salt form of fosaprepitant, the water-soluble, N-phosphorylated prodrug of aprepitant, with antiemetic activity. Upon intravenous administration and rapid conversion to aprepitant, this agent binds selectively to the human substance P neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors in the central nervous system (CNS). This inhibits receptor binding of the endogenous substance P and prevents substance P-induced emesis.
