Solid

Almitrine is a triamino-1,3,5-triazine compound having allylamino substituents at the 2- and 4-positions and a 4-(bis(p-fluorophenyl)methyl)-1-piperazinyl group at the 6-position. It has a role as a central nervous system stimulant. It is a triamino-1,3,5-triazine and a member of piperazines.|Almitrine is a respiratory stimulant that enhances respiration by acting as an agonist of peripheral chemoreceptors located on the carotid bodies. It is used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is also reported to have a potentially beneficial effect in treating the noctural oxygen desaturation without impairing the quality of sleep.|Almitrine is a diphenylmethylpiperazine derivative and respiratory stimulant that can be used to improve oxygenation. Upon systemic administration, almitrine targets, binds to and activates the peripheral chemoreceptors located on the carotid bodies. This enhances respiration and increases arterial oxygen tension while decreasing arterial carbon dioxide tension.|A respiratory stimulant that enhances respiration by acting as an agonist of peripheral chemoreceptors located on the carotid bodies. The drug increases arterial oxygen tension while decreasing arterial carbon dioxide tension in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It may also prove useful in the treatment of nocturnal oxygen desaturation without impairing the quality of sleep.

Respiratory stimulant.
