21 CFR 310.545(a)(12)(iv)(B) laxative:stimulant laxative danthron
Source URL:

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)



Danthron, a natural product, was originally extracted from the roots and rhizome of Polygonaceae plant. Danthron is an anthraquinone. Danthron has been widely administrated as a laxative since the 1900s. In the United States, danthron has been forbidden to continual use as laxative because it is considered to be a carcinogen. In the UK, it is not marketed alone but in combination with poloxamer 188 as co-danthramer and with docusate as co-danthrusate; in the UK, its use is strictly restricted to the elderly and to the terminally ill of all ages because of concerns about carcinogenicity and hepatotoxicity. It has only a limited role in the treatment of constipation.

Conditions:

Bisoxatin (Laxonalin, Wylaxine) acetate is a stimulant laxative that has been used in the treatment of constipation. The drug showed good effects to habitual constipation and dolichocolon but was not sufficient acting in megacolon. It seems that the drug is effective to constipation due to functional disorders but the effect is not sufficient to constipation caused chiefly by organic colonic changes. No side effect was observed even in long term administration.

Picosulfuric acid (as sodium picosulfate) is a contact laxative, which is used in combination with: magnesium oxide, and anhydrous citric acid for cleansing of the colon as a preparation for colonoscopy in adults. Sodium picosulfate is a prodrug. It has no significant direct physiological effect on the intestine. But it is hydrolyzed by colonic bacteria to form an active metabolite: bis-(p-hydroxy-phenyl)-pyridyl-2-methane, BHPM, which acts directly on the colonic mucosa to stimulate colonic peristalsis
