Dimethoxanate (trade names Cothera, Cotrane, Atuss, Perlatoss, Tossizid) [1] is a cough suppressant of the phenothiazine class. [2]

Contents

Side effects

Dimethoxanate may have analgesic, local anesthetic, and central nervous system depressant effects, but it may also produce nausea and vomiting. [3]

Pharmacology

It binds to the sigma-1 receptor in the brain with an IC50 of 41 nM. [4]

Society and culture

Dimethoxanate was introduced in Austria, Belgium, and France in 1911, and in Italy and Spain in 1963. [5] Approval for marketing in the US was withdrawn by the FDA in 1975 due to lack of evidence of efficacy. [6]

Synthesis

Synthesis: Patent: Dimethoxanate synthesis.svg
Synthesis: Patent:

Phenothiazine (1) is reacted with phosgene to give Phenothiazine-10-carbonyl chloride [18956-87-1] (2). Further reaction with 2-(2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy)ethanol [1704-62-7] (3) completed the synthesis of Dimethoxanate (4).
