Generic Name
Almitrine
DrugBank Accession Number
DB01430
Background

Almitrine is a respiratory stimulant that enhances respiration by acting as an agonist of peripheral chemoreceptors located on the carotid bodies. It is used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is also reported to have a potentially beneficial effect in treating the noctural oxygen desaturation without impairing the quality of sleep.

Pharmacodynamics

Almitrine is a respiratory stimulant that enhances respiration by acting as an agonist of peripheral chemoreceptors located on the carotid bodies.

Mechanism of action

Almitrine is an agonist at the peripheral chemoreceptors expressed on carotid bodies. It enhances respiration in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by increasing the arterial oxygen tension while decreasing the arterial carbon dioxide tension.
