Toxicological data
As far as possible and customary, SI units are used. Unless otherwise noted, the data given apply to standard conditions .

Cyclizine is a drug from the group of antihistamines of the first generation that was previously used against allergies and motion sickness and is still used in some countries in palliative medicine to treat nausea in children with cancer. Cyclizine can cause poisoning. Illegal use as a substitute drug has also been reported.

Cyclizine is more anti-emetic and less sedating than other antihistamines and was therefore included in the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines for children in 2011. There is currently no approved preparation in Germany.

effect

Cyclizine acts as an antagonist (blocking) on ​​certain acetylcholine and histamine receptors .

Presentation and extraction

The synthesis of cyclizine is achieved by reacting benzhydryl chloride with 1-methylpiperazine .

Synthesis of cyclizine

The active ingredient is used in various salt forms, such as monohydrochloride, dihydrochloride, lactate or tartrate .
