Adelphane Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Dihydralazine is under investigation in clinical trial NCT00311974 (The Effect of Dihydralazine on Kidney Function and Hormones in Healthy Individuals).

An alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria. Reserpine inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles resulting in depletion of catecholamines and serotonin from central and peripheral axon terminals. It has been used as an antihypertensive and an antipsychotic as well as a research tool, but its adverse effects limit its clinical use.

Reserpine is an adrenergic blocking agent used to treat mild to moderate hypertension via the disruption of norepinephrine vesicular storage. The antihypertensive actions of Reserpine are a result of its ability to deplete catecholamines from peripheral sympathetic nerve endings. These substances are normally involved in controlling heart rate, force of cardiac contraction and peripheral resistance.

Uses

Adelphane is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: High Blood Pressure (Hypertension), Agitated psychotic state

How Adelphane works

Reserpine's mechanism of action is through inhibition of the ATP/Mg²⁺ pump responsible for the sequestering of neurotransmitters into storage vesicles located in the presynaptic neuron. The neurotransmitters that are not sequestered in the storage vesicle are readily metabolized by monoamine oxidase (MAO) causing a reduction in catecholamines.

Toxicity

Possible human carcinogen. May cause reproductive harm. ORL-RAT LD₅₀ 420 mg/kg; IPR-RAT LD₅₀ 44 mg/kg; IVN-RAT LD₅₀ 15 mg/kg; ORL-MUS LD₅₀ 200 mg/kg; SCU-MUS LD₅₀ 52 mg/kg; IPR-RBT LD₅₀ 7 mg/kg

Elimination Route

Reserpine is extensively metabolized to inactive compounds. It is slowly excreted via the urine and feces.
