CAS 66357-35-5: Ranitidine
Description:Ranitidine is a medication that belongs to the class of histamine H2-receptor antagonists, primarily used to reduce stomach acid production. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The chemical formula of ranitidine is C13H22N4O3S, and it features a furan ring, a thiazole ring, and an amine group, contributing to its pharmacological activity. Ranitidine is known for its ability to competitively inhibit the binding of histamine to H2 receptors on gastric parietal cells, thereby decreasing gastric acid secretion. It is typically administered orally or intravenously and has a relatively rapid onset of action. However, ranitidine has faced scrutiny and regulatory action due to concerns about impurities linked to potential carcinogenic effects, leading to its withdrawal from many markets. Despite its effectiveness in managing acid-related disorders, patients are advised to consult healthcare professionals for alternative treatments and to discuss any potential risks associated with its use.
