Cinitapride (trade names Cintapro, Pemix) is a gastroprokinetic agent and antiemetic agent of the benzamide class which is marketed in India, Mexico, Pakistan and Spain.[1][2] It acts as an agonist of the 5-HT1 and 5-HT4 receptors and as an antagonist of the 5-HT2 receptors.[3][4]

Uses

It is indicated for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders associated with motility disturbances such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, non-ulcer dyspepsia and delayed gastric emptying. It may be also used in the management of nausea and vomiting.

Synthesis

Cinitapride is the amide formed by reacting methyl 4-amino-2-ethoxy-5-nitrobenzoate (1) with the 4-aminopiperidine derivative (2).[5][6]
