Methapyrilene is an antihistamine and anticholinergic of the pyridine chemical class which was developed in the early 1950s. It was sold under the trade names Co-Pyronil and Histadyl EC. It has relatively strong sedative effects, to the extent that its primary use was as a medication for insomnia rather than for its antihistamine action. Together with scopolamine, it was the main ingredient in Sominex, Nytol, and Sleep-Eze. It also provided the sedative component of Excedrin PM. Manufacturers voluntarily withdrew methapyrilineb drug products from the market in May and June 1979, when methapyrilene was demonstrated to cause liver cancer in rats when given chronically.

Methapyrilene failed to induce formation of DNA adducts in L5178Y cell DNA at doses which induced mutations at the thymidine kinase locus. These data suggest that methapyrilene induces mutations in this system through an indirect genotoxic mechanism; e.g., via an oxidative mechanism or interaction with chromosomal proteins.
