Description

Rac Metanephrine hydrochloride is a drug that is used to measure the levels of metanephrine in plasma. It is a synthetic analogue of the endogenous hormone metanephrine, which is made from dopamine and norepinephrine. Rac-metanephrine hydrochloride is used as an indicator of prognosis in patients with extravasation injury. The drug can be injected into the tissue to test for leaks, or it can be administered intravenously to assess the patient's response to drugs. Rac-metanephrine hydrochloride binds to phosphatidyl ethanolamine in cells and its intracellular levels are measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This drug has been shown to have a neuroprotective effect in mice with Parkinson's disease. Rac-Metanephrine hydrochloride also inhibits the release of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and increases sphingolipid metabolism
