CAS 23651-95-8: Droxidopa
Description:Droxidopa, with the CAS number 23651-95-8, is a synthetic amino acid analog of norepinephrine, primarily used as a medication to treat neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. It functions as a prodrug, converting to norepinephrine in the body, which helps to increase blood pressure and improve blood flow. The chemical formula of droxidopa is C9H11NO4, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 197.19 g/mol. This compound is characterized by its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, making it effective in treating conditions associated with low blood pressure due to autonomic dysfunction. Droxidopa is typically administered orally and is known for its relatively favorable safety profile, although it may cause side effects such as headache, nausea, and hypertension. Its pharmacokinetics involve rapid absorption and metabolism, with peak plasma concentrations occurring within a few hours post-administration. Overall, droxidopa represents a significant therapeutic option for patients suffering from specific forms of orthostatic hypotension.
