CAS 6151-40-2: quinidine hydrochloride monohydrate
Description:Quinidine hydrochloride monohydrate is a pharmaceutical compound primarily used as an antiarrhythmic agent in the treatment of certain types of cardiac arrhythmias. It is a stereoisomer of quinine and belongs to the class of alkaloids derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. The substance appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in water, which facilitates its administration in clinical settings. Its chemical formula includes a hydrochloride salt form, enhancing its stability and bioavailability. Quinidine acts by blocking sodium channels and prolonging the action potential in cardiac tissues, thereby helping to restore normal heart rhythm. The monohydrate form indicates the presence of one molecule of water associated with each molecule of quinidine hydrochloride, which can influence its physical properties and solubility. As with many medications, it is essential to monitor for potential side effects, including gastrointestinal disturbances and cardiovascular effects, during its use. Proper dosing and medical supervision are crucial for safe administration.
