cimetidine and Cancer, Radiation-Induced

cimetidine has been researched along with Cancer, Radiation-Induced in 1 studies

Cimetidine: A histamine congener, it competitively inhibits HISTAMINE binding to HISTAMINE H2 RECEPTORS. Cimetidine has a range of pharmacological actions. It inhibits GASTRIC ACID secretion, as well as PEPSIN and GASTRIN output.
cimetidine : A member of the class of guanidines that consists of guanidine carrying a methyl substituent at position 1, a cyano group at position 2 and a 2-{[(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]sulfanyl}ethyl group at position 3. It is a H2-receptor antagonist that inhibits the production of acid in stomach.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Cimetidine was fed to one group during a 70 day period of chronic UVR (5 days/week for 10 weeks), to a second group from the end of this period to the end of the experiment at 286 days and a third group was fed a control diet only throughout the experiment."1.28The effect of the antihistamine cimetidine on ultraviolet-radiation-induced tumorigenesis in the hairless mouse.
