Description

Domperidone is a dopamine blocker and an antidopaminergic reagent.Target: Dopamine ReceptorDomperidone is a useful alternative to metoclopramide for treatment of gastroparesis due to better tolerability. Effectiveness and side-effects from domperidone may be influenced by patient-related factors including polymorphisms in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes, drug transporters, and domperidone targets [1]. Domperidone is a dopamine D(2) receptor antagonist, which has been used as ant


Solid


Domperidone is 1-[3-(Piperidin-1-yl)propyl]-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one in which the 4-position of the piperidine ring is substituted by a 5-chloro-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-on-1-yl group. A dopamine antagonist, it is used as an antiemetic for the short-term treatment of nausea and vomiting, and to control gastrointestinal effects of dopaminergic drugs given in the management of parkinsonism. The free base is used in oral suspensions, while the maleate salt is used in tablet preparations. It has a role as an antiemetic and a dopaminergic antagonist. It is a member of benzimidazoles and a heteroarylpiperidine.|A specific blocker of dopamine receptors. It speeds gastrointestinal peristalsis, causes prolactin release, and is used as antiemetic and tool in the study of dopaminergic mechanisms.|Domperidone is a peripheral-specific antagonist of the dopamine receptor D2 (D2R), with antiemetic, gastrokinetic and galactagogue activities. Following administration, domperidone binds to D2R expressed by peripheral neurons; this inhibits dopamine binding and D2R-mediated signaling. Inhibition of peripheral D2R signaling prevents or relieves various gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting, and may help relief reflux and symptoms of a variety of other upper GI disorders.

Drug Information

Domperidone is a specific blocker of dopamine receptors. It speeds gastrointestinal peristalsis, causes prolactin release, and is used as antiemetic and tool in the study of dopaminergic mechanisms.

Drugs that bind to but do not activate DOPAMINE RECEPTORS, thereby blocking the actions of dopamine or exogenous agonists. Many drugs used in the treatment of psychotic disorders (ANTIPSYCHOTIC AGENTS) are dopamine antagonists, although their therapeutic effects may be due to long-term adjustments of the brain rather than to the acute effects of blocking dopamine receptors. Dopamine antagonists have been used for several other clinical purposes including as ANTIEMETICS, in the treatment of Tourette syndrome, and for hiccup. Dopamine receptor blockade is associated with NEUROLEPTIC MALIGNANT SYNDROME. (See all compounds classified as Dopamine Antagonists.)|Drugs used to prevent NAUSEA or VOMITING. (See all compounds classified as Antiemetics.)

Domperidone has known human metabolites that include 1-Propyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one, 3-[3-[4-(5-Chloro-2-oxo-3H-benzimidazol-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl]propyl]-6-hydroxy-1H-benzimidazol-2-one, and 5-Chloro-1-(piperidin-4-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one.

7 hours

Domperidone acts as a gastrointestinal emptying (delayed) adjunct and peristaltic stimulant. The gastroprokinetic properties of domperidone are related to its peripheral dopamine receptor blocking properties. Domperidone facilitates gastric emptying and decreases small bowel transit time by increasing esophageal and gastric peristalsis and by lowering esophageal sphincter pressure. Antiemetic: The antiemetic properties of domperidone are related to its dopamine receptor blocking activity at both the chemoreceptor trigger zone and at the gastric level. It has strong affinities for the D2 and D3 dopamine receptors, which are found in the chemoreceptor trigger zone, located just outside the blood brain barrier, which - among others - regulates nausea and vomiting

Drug Function and Efficacy

This product is a peripheral dopamine receptor blocker that acts directly on the gastrointestinal wall, can increase the tension of the lower esophageal sphincter, prevent gastroesophageal reflux, enhance gastric motility, promote gastric emptying, coordinate gastric and duodenal motility, inhibit nausea and vomiting, and effectively prevent bile reflux without affecting gastric juice secretion. This product is not easy to pass through the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier and has an inhibitory effect on dopamine receptors in the brain. Therefore, there are no extrapyramidal and other neurological and psychiatric adverse reactions.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
