|
1
Chlorphenamine
UNII V1Q0O9OJ9Z - CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE
|
|
Chlorphenamine is a potent antihistamine (H1-antagonist). Antihistamines diminish or abolish the actions of histamine in the body by competitive reversible blockade of histamine H1-receptor sites on tissues. Chlorphenamine also has anticholinergic activity. |
|
2
Phenylpropanolamine
UNII 8D5I63UE1Q - PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE
|
|
Phenylpropanolamine is a sympathomimetic agent which is used as a decongestant and appetite suppressant. It was commonly used in prescription and over-the-counter cough and cold preparations. Although originally thought to act as a direct agonist of adrenergic receptors, phenylpropanolamine was subsequently found to show only weak or negligible affinity for these receptors, and has been instead characterized as an indirect sympathomimetic which acts by inducing norepinephrine release and thereby activating adrenergic receptors. |
