CAS 68693-11-8

Modafinil

Description:

Modafinil, with the CAS number 68693-11-8, is a wakefulness-promoting agent primarily used to treat sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work sleep disorder. It is classified as a eugeroic, which means it enhances alertness without the stimulating effects typically associated with traditional stimulants. Chemically, modafinil is a racemic compound, consisting of two enantiomers, and its structure is characterized by a benzhydryl sulfinyl moiety. The substance exhibits a relatively low potential for abuse compared to other stimulants, making it a preferred option in clinical settings. Modafinil's mechanism of action is not fully understood but is believed to involve the modulation of neurotransmitters, including dopamine and norepinephrine, in the brain. It is generally well-tolerated, with common side effects including headache, nausea, and insomnia. Due to its cognitive-enhancing properties, modafinil has also gained attention in non-medical contexts, although its use in such scenarios raises ethical and regulatory considerations.
