CAS 17162-39-9: Phenylephrine tartrate

Description: Phenylephrine tartrate is a pharmaceutical compound primarily used as a decongestant and a mydriatic agent. It is the tartrate salt of phenylephrine, which is an alpha-1 adrenergic agonist. This compound is characterized by its ability to constrict blood vessels, leading to reduced nasal congestion and increased blood pressure. In its pure form, phenylephrine tartrate appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder, which is soluble in water and has a slightly bitter taste. The molecular structure includes a phenolic group, contributing to its pharmacological activity. It is commonly administered in various formulations, including oral tablets and injectable solutions. The compound is generally well-tolerated, though it may cause side effects such as hypertension, reflex bradycardia, or local irritation at the site of administration. Due to its vasoconstrictive properties, phenylephrine tartrate is often utilized in clinical settings for managing hypotension during anesthesia and for treating nasal congestion associated with colds or allergies.
