Description

Oxmetidine is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist, developed in the 1970s. It was studied for its potential use in the treatment of peptic ulcers, but it was never marketed due to its short duration of action and potential side effects. The synthesis of oxmetidine involves a multi-step process starting with 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole. Oxmetidine's mechanism of action involves blocking histamine from binding to H2 receptors, which are found in the stomach lining. This results in reduced gastric acid secretion and can help alleviate symptoms of peptic ulcers. Despite not reaching the market, oxmetidine played an important role in the development of other H2 receptor antagonists, such as cimetidine and ranitidine, which have become widely used in the treatment of peptic ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders.'

Research Excerpts

Overview

Oxmetidine is an H2-receptor antagonist that has efficacy in the treatment of peptic ulcers. Oxmetidine contains a substituted isocytosine moiety in place of the cyanoguanidine group.
