CAS 58895-64-0: Nalmefene hydrochloride

Description: Nalmefene hydrochloride is a synthetic opioid receptor modulator primarily used in the treatment of alcohol dependence. It acts as a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptor and an antagonist at the kappa-opioid receptor, which helps to reduce alcohol consumption and cravings. The substance is characterized by its ability to influence the brain's reward pathways, thereby modifying the reinforcing effects of alcohol. Nalmefene hydrochloride is typically administered orally and is known for its relatively favorable safety profile compared to full agonists. Its chemical structure includes a piperidine ring, contributing to its pharmacological properties. The hydrochloride salt form enhances its solubility and stability, making it suitable for pharmaceutical formulations. As with any medication, nalmefene hydrochloride may have side effects, including nausea, dizziness, and potential interactions with other substances, necessitating careful monitoring during treatment. Overall, it represents a valuable option in the management of alcohol use disorders, particularly for individuals seeking to reduce their alcohol intake without complete abstinence.
