Description
Ephedrine, 1-phenyl-2-methylaminopropanol, C6H5 CH(OH)CH(NHCH3)CH3, is a white-to-colorless granular substance, unctuous (greasy) to the touch, and hygroscopic. The compound gradually decomposes upon exposure to light. Soluble in water, alcohol, ether, chloroform, and oils, and decomposes above this temperature. Ephedrine is isolated from stems or leaves of Ephedra, especially Ma huang (found in China and India). Medically, it is usually offered as the hydrochloride. In the treatment of bronchial asthma, ephedrine is known as a beta agonist. Compounds of this type reduce obstruction by activating the enzyme adenylate cyclase. This increases intracellular concentrations of cAMP (cyclic 3 5 -adenosine monophosphate) in bronchial smooth muscle and mast cells. Ephedrine is most useful for the treatment of mild asthma. In severe asthma, ephedrine rarely maintains completely normal airway dynamics over long periods. Ephedrine also has been used in the treatment of cerebral transient ischemic attacks, particularly with patients with vertabrobasilar artery insufficiency who have symptoms associated with relatively low blood pressure, or with postural changes in blood pressure. Ephedrine sulfate also has been used in drug therapy in connection with urticaria (hives).More related product prices
