Isoxsuprine hydrochloride

Isoxsuprine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of isoxsuprine, a benzyl alcohol derivative with vasodilator activity. The mechanism of action of isoxsuprine hydrochloride is controversial because this drug has beta-adrenergic agonist activities that are not reversed by beta-adrenergic blockers. Although stimulation of the beta adrenergic receptor increases blood flow to produce vasodilatation, this drug may also have direct effects on the contractility of smooth muscle. Isoxsuprine hydrochloride also causes relaxation of uterine smooth muscle and may also produce positive inotropic and chronotropic effects on the myocardium. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Beta-2 agonists. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Duvadilan, Dilavase, Suprilent and Vasotran. Its PubChem CID is 11368.
