CAS 552-79-4

Methylephedrine

Description:

Methylephedrine, with the CAS number 552-79-4, is a sympathomimetic amine that is structurally related to ephedrine. It is characterized by its stimulant properties, primarily affecting the central nervous system and cardiovascular system. Methylephedrine is often used in the treatment of respiratory conditions due to its bronchodilator effects, helping to relieve symptoms of asthma and bronchitis. The compound typically exists as a white crystalline powder and is soluble in water, which facilitates its use in various pharmaceutical formulations. Its mechanism of action involves the stimulation of adrenergic receptors, leading to increased heart rate and bronchodilation. Methylephedrine may also exhibit mild diuretic effects. However, like other sympathomimetics, it can have side effects, including increased blood pressure, insomnia, and anxiety, particularly when misused or taken in high doses. Due to its potential for abuse and dependence, methylephedrine is regulated in many jurisdictions.

(-)-Methylephedrine is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of amphetamines. It can be isolated from ephedrine, which is found in the plant Ephedra sinica. (-)-Methylephedrine has been used as an analytical reagent in chromatographic analysis and as a reference standard for the detection sensitivity of human pharmacokinetics. Monoclonal antibodies have been successfully generated against (-)-methylephedrine for control analysis and for use in immunoassays. (-)-Methylephedrine has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complex by inhibiting protein synthesis. The effects of this drug on bacterial growth may be due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis by binding to ribosomes.
