Dacemazine

Chemical compound

Dacemazine

Summary

Chemical compound

Dacemazine (INN, also known as Ahistan and Histantine) is a phenothiazine derivative which acts as a histamine antagonist at the H1 subtype. First described in 1951, it was never marketed as a drug on its own, although a combination of dacemazine and di-tert-butylnaphthalenesulfonate was sold as an antispasmodic and antitussive under the trade name Codopectyl. It was also assessed as a possible anticancer drug.

Synthesis

url = https://patents.google.com/patent/US2694705A/en?oq=US2694705 }}</ref>

Amide formation between phenothiazine (1) and chloroacetyl chloride (2) gives 10-(chloroacetyl)-phenothiazine (3). The subsequent displacement of the remaining halogen with dimethylamine (4) completes the synthesis of dacemazine (5).
