Ramosetron Hydrochloride Injection

Function and Efficacy

15-HT3 receptor antagonism In the 5-HT-induced guinea pig isolated colon contraction test and rat and ferret heart rate slowing reflex (Bezold-Jarisch reflex) test, this drug showed 5-HT3 receptor antagonism; 2 Anti-malignant tumor drug-induced vomiting inhibition In the vomiting of ferrets induced by cisplatin, this drug was given before vomiting or after the first vomiting, and showed an inhibitory effect. Cisplatin and other anti-malignant tumor drugs can free 5-HT from enterochromaffin cells in the digestive tract. 5-HT binds to the 5-HT3 receptors present in the afferent vagus nerve endings in the digestive tract mucosa, thereby stimulating the vomiting center to induce vomiting. Ramosetron hydrochloride exerts its antiemetic effect by blocking this 5-HT3 receptor. Toxicology studies have been conducted on mice, rats and dogs by intravenous administration. Mice and rats can see a transient decrease in spontaneous movement after administration, and die after tremor and convulsion. The LD50 is 90-108 mg/kg for male mice, 108-130 mg/kg for female mice, 172 mg/kg for male rats, and 151 mg/kg for female rats. Dogs given 30 mg/kg can see vomiting, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, weight loss, etc., but no death. There is no obvious gender difference in either animal. 2. Subacute toxicity Animal experiments were conducted on rats and dogs for one month by intravenous administration. Rats (dosage: 0.1, 1.0, 10 mg/kg/day) showed a slight increase in GPT (about 1.2 times that of the control group) when administered with more than 1 mg/kg, and weight gain was inhibited (about 4%) when administered with 10 mg/kg. However, no pathological histological abnormalities were found in the organ tissues of any animal. The maximum non-toxic dose for rats was estimated to be 0.1 mg/kg/day. The highest dose for dogs was 3 mg/kg, and no toxic effects were observed. 3 Reproductive toxicity and carcinogenicity: When intravenously administered to rats and rabbits, no pregnancy toxicity, teratogenicity or fetal death were observed in rats at a dose of 10 mg/kg, and only the weight gain of newborn rats was inhibited. When the dose reached 20 mg/kg, the fetal weight of rabbits decreased and ossification was delayed, but no teratogenic effects were observed. Oral administration of the drug to rats and mice for 24 weeks showed that no tumors occurred.

Ingredients

Name Description Content CAS NO. Manufacturer
Ramosetron hydrochlorideIngredients

1. 5-HT3 receptor antagonism: The 5-HT3 receptor antagonism was shown in the 5-hydroxytryptamine-induced guinea pig isolated colon contraction experiment and the rat and ferret heart rate slowing reflex (Bezold-Jarisch reflex) experiment; 2. Anti-tumor drug-induced vomiting inhibition: By blocking the 5-HT3 receptors present in the afferent vagus nerve endings in the gastrointestinal mucosa, vomiting induced by anti-tumor drugs such as cisplatin is inhibited.
