Application

Cyproheptadine hydrochloride sesquihydrate has been used in:
  • testing anti-inflammatory activity in serotonin receptor (5-HT) induced inflammation
  • the inhibition of 5-HT in in vivo and in vitro bioassays in crabs
  • the inhibition of 5-HT in embryo physiological experiments

inhibition of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cyproheptadine hydrochloride sesquihydrate is a serotonin receptor (5-HT2/5-HT1C) antagonist, H1 histamine receptor antagonist and an antipruritic. The inhibition of 5-HT by cyproheptadine improves cognitive function in schizophrenia disorder. Cyproheptadine is effective for treating functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved cyproheptadine, has antidepressant and antiplatelet functionality. It may be effective in treating thromboembolic disorders. Cyproheptadine inhibits lysine methyltransferase 7/9 (Set7/9) leading to a decrease in estrogen receptor (ERα) expression and growth arrest in breast cancer cells.
