cimetidine and Dirofilariasis

cimetidine has been researched along with Dirofilariasis in 2 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.

Dirofilariasis: Infection with nematodes of the genus DIROFILARIA, usually in animals, especially dogs, but occasionally in man.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" During pentobarbital anesthesia, 2 pulmonary hemodynamic studies were conducted on each dog with a sequence of baseline, hypoxia with FlO2 = 10%, hyperoxia with FlO2 = 100%, a second baseline, treatment with either diphenhydramine (D) or cimetidine (C), and another hypoxia."3.68Postadulticide pulmonary hypertension of canine heartworm disease: successful treatment with oxygen and failure of antihistamines. ( Rawlings, CA; Tackett, RL, 1990)
" Dose-response relationships to histamine were done in rings of canine pulmonary artery from heartworm and control dogs, in the presence and absence of endothelial cells, the H1 receptor blocker tripelennamine, or the H2 receptor blocker cimetidine."1.30Dirofilaria immitis: heartworm infection converts histamine-induced constriction to endothelium-dependent relaxation in canine pulmonary artery. ( Kaiser, L; Williams, JF, 1998)
