| | Epinephrine Hydrochloride Usage And Synthesis |
| General Description | Crystals. Used medically as a cardiostimulant. | | Air & Water Reactions | Water soluble [Merck]. | | Reactivity Profile | L-Epinephrine hydrochloride is readily destroyed by alkalis and oxidizing agents . | | Health Hazard | SYMPTOMS: Adverse reactions include restlessness; anxiety; headache; tremor; weakness; dizziness; pallor; respiratory difficulties; palpitation; nausea and vomiting. | | Fire Hazard | Flash point data for L-Epinephrine hydrochloride are not available, but L-Epinephrine hydrochloride is probably combustible. | | Mechanism of action |
By stimulating vascular alpha-adrenergic receptors, epinephrine causes vasoconstriction, thereby increasing vascular resistance and blood pressure. When administered in the conjunctiva, Epinephrine Hydrochloride binds to alpha-adrenergic receptors in the iris sphincter muscle, resulting in vasoconstriction, a decrease in the production of aqueous humor, and a lowering of intraocular pressure. Through its beta1 receptor-stimulating actions, epinephrine increases the force and rate of myocardial contraction and relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, resulting in bronchodilation.
| | Pharmacology |
Epinephrine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of the naturally occurring sympathomimetic amine with vasoconstricting, intraocular pressure-reducing, and bronchodilating activities.
