CAS 23327-57-3: (±)-Nefopam hydrochloride
Description:(±)-Nefopam hydrochloride is a synthetic compound primarily recognized for its analgesic properties. It is classified as a non-opioid analgesic and is often used to manage pain, particularly in cases where traditional opioids may not be suitable. The substance exhibits a unique mechanism of action, primarily through the inhibition of the reuptake of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, which contributes to its pain-relieving effects. Chemically, it is a racemic mixture, meaning it contains equal parts of two enantiomers, which can exhibit different pharmacological activities. Nefopam hydrochloride is typically administered in its hydrochloride salt form, enhancing its solubility and stability. The compound is known for its relatively low incidence of side effects compared to opioids, making it a valuable alternative in pain management. However, it may still cause some adverse effects, including nausea and dizziness. As with any medication, its use should be guided by a healthcare professional, considering individual patient needs and potential interactions with other medications.
