  • metabolite
  • plant metabolite
  • radical scavenger

Pharmacology

Phenothiazine is a class of agents exhibiting antiemetic, antipsychotic, antihistaminic, and anticholinergic activities. Phenothiazines antagonize the dopamine D2-receptor in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the brain, potentially preventing chemotherapy-induced emesis. In addition, these agents have peripherally or centrally antagonistic activity against alpha adrenergic, serotonergic, histaminic, and muscarinic receptors. (NCI)

How it is made

By fusing diphenylamine with sulfur, improved yields with iodine as catalyst.
