SMILES: CN(C)CCN(CC1=CC=C(C=C1)OC)C2=CC=CC=N2

IUPAC name: N’-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-N,N-dimethyl-N’-pyridin-2-ylethane-1,2-diamine

ChEBI definition: An ethylenediamine derivative that is ethylenediamine in which one of the amino nitrogens is substituted by two methyl groups and the remaining amino nitrogen is substituted by a 4-methoxybenzyl and a pyridin-2-yl group.

Pharmacological roles (ChEBI): H1-receptor antagonist.

Also known as: Mepiramina, Mepyramine, NSC-13136, mepyramine, pyrilamine, Pyrilamine, SID11111639, SID11111640, SID11113355, SID17389532, SID26751558, SID90341279

Parent form; salt/anhydrous children: CHEMBL1201006

Patent coverage: 21,133 distinct patent families (42,415 SureChEMBL compound mentions), from 2 matched compound structure(s). One matched structure accounts for 42,346 (100%) of the total. Mentions count patents naming the compound (not distinct inventions), so promiscuous / reference molecules inflate the mention figure — families are the dedup metric.

Pharmacology

Pharmacogenomics

No CPIC/DPWG dosing guideline or drug-level clinical/variant annotations in PharmGKB for this molecule.

Molecules sharing ≥1 of this drug’s curated primary targets, merged from two biobtree sources and ranked by shared-target count, then clinical phase: ChEMBL clinical-stage candidates (development phase ≥2) and PubChem drug-class bioactivity (approved / known drugs acting on the target). Deduplicated by drug name; the drug’s own salt forms are excluded. Note: for a drug with few primary targets a shared-target match can reflect off-target / promiscuous binding rather than the same therapeutic mechanism — the phase ordering surfaces bona-fide therapeutics first.
