Product Description: Meclizine (dihydrochloride) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Meclizine (dihydrochloride). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Meclizine (Meclozine) dihydrochloride, an antihistamine, reversibly inhibits the interaction of histamine at the H1 receptors. Meclizine dihydrochloride is a member of the piperazine class of H1 antagonists. Meclizine dihydrochloride is an effective anti-motion sickness agent. Meclizine dihydrochloride crosses the blood-brain barrier. Meclizine dihydrochloride can be used for the research of polyQ toxicity disorders, such as Huntington's disease. Meclizine dihydrochloride is an agonist ligand for mouse constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and an inverse agonist for Human CAR[1][2][3].
