:Pseudoephedrine
Description:
Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine commonly used as a decongestant in over-the-counter medications. It is characterized by its chemical formula C10H15NO and a molecular weight of approximately 165.24 g/mol. Pseudoephedrine exists as a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a melting point around 170-175°C. The substance acts primarily by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors, leading to vasoconstriction and reduced nasal congestion. It is structurally related to ephedrine, differing mainly in the orientation of the hydroxyl group on the carbon chain. Pseudoephedrine is often found in formulations for treating colds, allergies, and sinusitis. However, due to its potential for misuse in the illicit production of methamphetamine, its sale is regulated in many countries. Side effects may include insomnia, dizziness, and increased heart rate, and it is contraindicated in individuals with certain medical conditions, such as hypertension. Overall, pseudoephedrine is an effective and widely used therapeutic agent when used appropriately.
