Product Information

• Name: rac-Pregabalin N-acrylamide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant drug that is used to treat epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and generalized anxiety disorder. It binds to the alpha2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels and regulates neurotransmitter release. Racemic pregabalin N-acrylamide (Rac-Preg) is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers, S(-)Pregabalin and R(+)Pregabalin. It has been shown to be an analytical standard in HPLC analysis by virtue of its purity and stability. Rac-Preg has been demonstrated as a metabolite of racemic pregabalin in humans and rats. Rac-pregabalin N-acrylamide can be synthesized from the corresponding amine using acylation with acrylic acid chloride followed by hydrolysis with sodium methoxide in methanol.
