Roxatidine is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist and major active metabolite of roxatidine acetate (Item No. 21248).1 Roxatidine reduces histamine-induced adenylate cyclase production in guinea pig parietal cells (IC50 = 0.8 µM). It inhibits histamine-induced hydrogen ion accumulation in the same cells (pA2 = 7.03). Roxatidine (200 mg/kg) reduces small intestinal lesion area in a rat model of gastric mucosal injury induced by indomethacin (Item No. 70270).2
