The effect of cyproheptadine on plasma growth hormone and cortisol levels was studied in seven male volunteers with polygraphic sleep monitoring. Sleep-related growth hormone release was completely inhibited in three of the seven normal subjects by the intravenous infusion of cyproheptadine (5 mg) which was started at the onset of sleep. In the other four, growth hormone release during sleep wa...
We present the case of a 55-year-old white female with no history of liver or gastrointestinal disease, admitted with acute liver failure following a trial of cyproheptadine for appetite stimulation. The patient was managed with supportive care, symptomatic treatment, and discontinuation of cyproheptadine. To our knowledge, this is the first described case of cyproheptadine-induced acute liver ...
BACKGROUND Obesity is one of the main risk factors of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) worldwide, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. The use of Cyproheptadine increases body weight and the risk of becoming obese. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of Cyproheptadine misuse in the Kinshasa population and to describe its characteristics. METHODS A cross-sectional study was condu...
Previous studies have found that bromocriptine, cyproheptadine, and valproic acid can reduce ACTH secretion in Nelson's syndrome, but none of these agents has achieved widespread use due to their failure to normalize ACTH in most patients. The current study was undertaken to determine whether these three agents, which act through different mechanisms, decrease plasma ACTH synergistically when a...
Serotonin syndrome is caused by drug induced excess of intrasynaptic 5-hydroxytryptamine. The clinical manifestations are mediated by the action of 5-hydroxytryptamine on various subtypes of serotonin receptors. There is no effective drug treatment established. The history of the treatment of serotonin syndrome with 5-hydroxytryptamine blocking drugs is reviewed. A literature search was underta...
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the administration of cyproheptadine was able to induce weight gain in patients with cystic fibrosis. METHODS We performed a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in two centers in Brazil. Twenty-five patients with cystic fibrosis between 5 and 18 years completed the study. Patients were randomized into two groups, to receive either cyproheptadine 4 mg three ti...
There is considerable interest in defining new agents or targets for antithrombotic purposes. The 5-HT2A receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed on many cell types, and a known therapeutic target for many disease states. This serotonin receptor is also known to regulate platelet function. Thus, in our FDA-approved drug repurposing efforts, we investigated the antiplatelet acti...
D-cyclins are regulators of cell division that act in a complex with cyclin-dependent kinases to commit cells to a program of DNA replication. D-cyclins are overexpressed in many tumors, including multiple myeloma and leukemia, and contribute to disease progression and chemoresistance. To better understand the role and impact of D-cyclins in hematologic malignancies, we conducted a high through...
Background: Cyproheptadine hydrochloride is an antihistaminic drug. Appetite stimulation is one of its secondary effects that can be of advantage in some diseases. In this study we investigated the effect of Cyproheptadine hydrochloride on weight gain in underweight children with anorexia at age group 2 to10 years old. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, we selected 2-10 y...
Lever pressing rate under a continuous reinforcement schedule for food reward in rats was reduced significantly by cyproheptadine in the dose of 5 and 10 mg/kg body weight. Under fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement, the responding was also suppressed significantly by 5 and 10 mg/kg body weight doses of cyproheptadine. However, high dose (20 mg/kg) of cyproheptadine administered subsequent to ...
