(-)-Pseudoephedrine

Description:

(-)-Pseudoephedrine is a chiral compound classified as a sympathomimetic amine, primarily used as a decongestant in over-the-counter medications. It is an enantiomer of ephedrine and is characterized by its ability to relieve nasal congestion by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages. The molecular formula of (-)-Pseudoephedrine is C10H15NO, and it features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a secondary amine, contributing to its pharmacological activity. The compound is typically found in its hydrochloride salt form, which enhances its solubility in water. (-)-Pseudoephedrine exhibits a stereocenter, leading to its specific optical activity, and it is known for having fewer central nervous system stimulant effects compared to its counterpart, ephedrine. Common side effects may include increased heart rate and insomnia, although it is generally well-tolerated. Due to its potential for misuse in the synthesis of methamphetamine, its sale is regulated in many regions. Overall, (-)-Pseudoephedrine remains a widely used and effective treatment for temporary relief of nasal congestion.
