Question Dr. Ravi - has Antalarmin been cleared for human use yet? If so, what form is it prescribed in, and how is the dosage rate set? I'm a physiology student, developing a mock research project, that I would like to use Antalarmin for.
Thanks,
Donna
Answer Hi Donna,
Antalarmin is a prototype CRF antagonist. There are quite a number of newer antagonists which are being considered for clinical work. Chronic antalarmin treatment also showed antiinflammatory effects and has been suggested as having potential uses in the treatment of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, as well as stress-induced gastrointestinal ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome.However neither antalarmin or its congeners have been marketed anywhere in the world.
