Abstract
Neurotransmitter receptor binding studies indicate that effective antiemetic drugs potently block histamine H1, muscarinic cholinergic, or dopamine D2 receptors. Drug combinations affecting more than one of these receptors appear more clinically efficacious. Designing individual drugs or combinations that influence these three receptors may provide improved emesis control.
