Zolantidine

Zolantidine is a histamine antagonist, specifically an H2 antagonist, which was researched for the treatment of peptic ulcer and gastroesophageal reflux disease. It was found to have neuroprotective effects in scientific research.

History

Zolantidine was developed in the late 20th century as a potential treatment for peptic ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, it was not widely adopted in clinical practice.

Pharmacology

As an H2 antagonist, zolantidine works by blocking the action of histamine on the stomach cells, thereby reducing the production of stomach acid. This can help to relieve symptoms of conditions such as peptic ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Neuroprotective effects

In addition to its effects on the stomach, zolantidine has been found to have neuroprotective effects in scientific research. This means that it may have the potential to protect nerve cells from damage or degeneration.
