Description and Uses
4-Hydroxymethyl-5-methylimidazole is used as an intermediate of Alosetron hydrochloride, a 5-HT3 antagonist used only for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in women with predominantly severe diarrhoea. As the drug causes ischaemic colitis, a life-threatening condition in which intestinal tissue dies due to lack of blood flow to the colon. Therefore, it is no longer used.
