Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Drofénine hydrochloride is an antispasmodic and analgesic compound that reduces smooth‑muscle contraction by modulating intracellular Ca²⁺ dynamics and inhibiting phosphodiesterase‑mediated cAMP breakdown. It exhibits mild anticholinergic activity and direct myotropic relaxation.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in smooth‑muscle physiology studies, visceral‑pain modelling, GI motility research, and Ca²⁺‑handling pathway assays.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include dizziness, dry mouth, mild hypotension, tachycardia and anticholinergic effects at higher doses. Handle with antispasmodic‑compound precautions.
