Description | Brompheniramine is a first generation antihistamine of the propylamine class. It antagonizes histamine H1 receptors (Ki = 6.06 nM) and also inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. | Chemical Properties | White Solid | Originator | Dimetane,Robins,US,1957 | Uses | An antihistamine and also an inhibitor of serotonin reuptake | Uses | This drug is only available in combination with other
medications: Bromfed, Dimetane, Dimetapp, Drixomed, Histatab, Nasahist.
The only difference between this agent and chlorpheniramine is the substitution
of a bromine for a chlorine atom in brompheniramine. | Uses | Antihistaminic;H1 Antagonist | Definition | ChEBI: The maleic acid salt of brompheniramine. A histamine H1 receptor antagonist, it is used for the symptomatic relief of allergic conditions, including rhinitis and conjunctivitis. | Manufacturing Process | Initially, 4-bromobenzyl-cyanide is reacted with sodium amide and 2-
chloropyridine to give bromophenyl-pyridyl acetonitrile. This is then reacted
with sodium amide then dimethyl amino ethyl chloride to give 4-bromophenyldimethylaminoethyl-
pyridyl acetonitrile. This intermediate is then hydrolyzed
and decarboxylated to bromphenirame using 80% H2SO4 at 140°-150°C for
24 hours. The brompheniramine maleate may be made by reaction with
maleic acid in ethanol followed by recrystallization from pentanol. | Brand name | Dimetane (Wyeth). | Therapeutic Function | Antihistaminic | General Description | Brompheniraminemaleate, (+)2-[p-bromo-α-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]benzyl]pyridine bimaleate (Dimetane), differs fromchlorpheniramine by the substitution of a bromine atom forthe chlorine atom. Its actions and uses are like those of chlorpheniramine.It has a half-life of 25 hours, which is almosttwice that of chlorpheniramine. | Side effects | The side effects of this
medication are similar to other classes of sedative antihistamines. Some medications
include parabens. Patients sensitive to parabens may develop a sensitivity
reaction. |
