Promethazine Hydrochloride (CAS 58-33-3) is an antiemetic, antihistaminic, and CNS depressant. Promethazine Hydrochloride is a first generation histamine H1 receptor antagonist whose antihistamine activity. Promethazine can penetrate the CNS, depressing central H1-receptor activity, which may relate to its sedative properties, and can also inhibit muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.
