Orphenadrine | MedChemExpress (MCE)

Orphenadrine ((±)-Orphenadrine) is a skeletal muscle relaxant and NMDA antagonist that also has antiparkinsonian, antihistamine, antitremor, antispasmodic, and analgesic effects. Orphenadrine inhibits the binding of [3H]MK-801 to the phencyclidine (PCP) binding site of the NMDA receptor. Orphenadrine is also an anticholinergic and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B inducer. Orphenadrine may exert pro-tumor effects, causing CAR nuclear translocation, resulting in microsomal reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and oxidative stress. Orphenadrine also exerts neuronal protection, protecting rat cerebellar granule cells (CGC) from 3-NPA-induced death and has inhibitory potential against neurodegenerative diseases mediated by NMDA receptor overactivation[1][2][3].
