Synonyms: Emerphed® (ephedrine sulfate injection)
ephedrine is an approved drug (FDA (2020))
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Ephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine, hypothesised to act principally as a β-adrenoceptor agonist. Natural ephedrine is used in Chinese traditional medicine as a treatment for asthma and bronchitis.
Chemically, ephedirine can exist as four stereoisomers: the (1R,2S) and (1S,2R) pair of enantiomers is known as ephedrine ( with the INN racephedrine aknowledging the racemic mixture), while (1R,2R) and (1S,2S) pair is known as pseudoephedrine. The (1R,2S) isomer is also named (-)-ephedrine or D-ephedrine. The (1S,2S) isomer being (+)-ephedrine or L-ephedrine. Pseudoephedrine is much less active than ephedrine. ![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |
