Azasetron Hydrochloride Injection

Function and Efficacy

Pharmacological action: Azasetron hydrochloride is a selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, which has a significant inhibitory effect on nausea and vomiting caused by anticancer drugs such as cisplatin. Animal studies have shown that the affinity of azasetron hydrochloride for the 5-HT3 receptor in the rat cerebral cortex is about 410 times stronger than that of metoclopramide, twice that of ondansetron, and basically the same as granisetron. Toxicological studies: Repeated dose toxicity: This product was administered intravenously to rats, and the animals in the 10mg/kg and 60mg/kg groups showed an increase in food intake and weight, and a reversible increase in the weight of the heart, liver, brain and adrenal glands. Dogs were given continuous intravenous administration for 3 months, and when the dose reached 30mg/kg, symptoms such as vomiting and salivation occurred immediately after administration. Reproductive toxicity: Pre-pregnancy in rats
