(-)-Epinephrine hydrochloride

Description:
(-)-Epinephrine hydrochloride, also known as adrenaline hydrochloride, is a potent catecholamine and sympathomimetic agent. It is characterized by its role as a neurotransmitter and hormone in the body, primarily involved in the fight-or-flight response. The substance is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. Its molecular formula is C10H13NO3·HCl, indicating the presence of a hydroxyl group, an amine, and a catechol structure, which contribute to its biological activity. (-)-Epinephrine acts on alpha and beta adrenergic receptors, leading to various physiological effects such as increased heart rate, bronchodilation, and vasoconstriction. It is commonly used in medical settings for the treatment of anaphylaxis, cardiac arrest, and asthma attacks. The hydrochloride salt form enhances its stability and solubility for pharmaceutical applications. As a controlled substance, its use is regulated, and it is essential to administer it under medical supervision due to potential side effects and contraindications.
