Identification
Common NameMethdilazine
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionMethdilazine is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a phenothiazine compound with antihistaminic activity. It is used in the treatment of various dermatoses to relieve pruritus.Methdilazine binds to the histamine H1 receptor. This blocks the action of endogenous histamine, which subsequently leads to temporary relief of the negative symptoms brought on by histamine.

Targets

General Function:
Histamine receptor activity
Specific Function:
In peripheral tissues, the H1 subclass of histamine receptors mediates the contraction of smooth muscles, increase in capillary permeability due to contraction of terminal venules, and catecholamine release from adrenal medulla, as well as mediating neurotransmission in the central nervous system.
