|
Disopyramide - A class I anti-arrhythmic agent (one that interferes directly with the depolarization of the cardiac membrane and thus serves as a membrane-stabilizing agent) with a depressant action on the heart similar to that of guanidine. It also possesses some anticholinergic and local anesthetic properties. |
|
Doxylamine - Histamine H1 antagonist with pronounced sedative properties. It is used in allergies and as an antitussive, antiemetic, and hypnotic. Doxylamine has also been administered in veterinary applications and was formerly used in PARKINSONISM. |
|

|
Metyrapone - An inhibitor of the enzyme STEROID 11 BETA-MONOOXYGENASE. It is used as a test of the feedback hypothalamic-pituitary mechanism in the diagnosis of CUSHING SYNDROME. |
|
Naphthylvinylpyridine - 4(1-Naphthylvinyl)pyridine hydrochloride. Cholinesterase inhibitor. Synonym: YuB 25. |
|
Nevirapine - A potent, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor used in combination with nucleoside analogues for treatment of HIV infection and AIDS. |
|
Pheniramine - One of the HISTAMINE H1 ANTAGONISTS with little sedative action. It is used in treatment of hay fever, rhinitis, allergic dermatoses, and pruritus. |
|
Picolines - A group of compounds that are monomethyl derivatives of pyridines. (From Dorland, 28th ed) |
|
Pyridinium Compounds |
|
Pyridones - Pyridine derivatives with one or more keto groups on the ring. |
|
Pyrithioxin - A neurotropic agent which reduces permeability of blood-brain barrier to phosphate. It has no vitamin B6 activity. |
|
Quinolinic Acids |
|
Triprolidine - Histamine H1 antagonist used in ALLERGIC RHINITIS, ASTHMA, and URTICARIA. It is a component of COUGH and COLD medicines. It may cause drowsiness. |
|
Tropicamide - One of the MUSCARINIC ANTAGONISTS with pharmacologic action similar to ATROPINE and used mainly as an ophthalmic parasympatholytic or mydriatic. |
