5370-01-4Cc1cccc(C)c1OCC(C)N.ClNFEIBWMZVIVJLQ-UHFFFAOYSA-NMexiletine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of mexiletine, a local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic (Class IB) agent structurally related to lidocaine. Mexiletine exerts its antiarrhythmic effect by inhibiting the inward sodium current in cardiac cells, thereby reducing the rate of rise of the cardiac action potential (phase 0) and decreases automaticity in the Purkinje fibers. This slows nerve impulses in the heart and stabilizes the heartbeat. Mexiletine's anesthetic activity is due to its ability to block sodium influx in peripheral nerves, thereby reducing the rate and intensity of pain impulses reaching the central nervous system.

MEXILETINE HYDROCHLORIDE
Antiarrhythmic [EPC]
Agents used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. They may affect the polarization-repolarization phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibers. Anti-arrhythmia agents are often classed into four main groups according to their mechanism of action: sodium channel blockade, beta-adrenergic blockade, repolarization prolongation, or calcium channel blockade.
A class of drugs that inhibit the activation of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.

説明Mexiletine is a voltage-gated sodium channel blocker and class Ib antiarrhythmic agent that preferentially binds to open/inactive channels. It inhibits aconitine-induced dysrhythmias in mice with ED50 values of 57 and 107 mg/kg for intraperitoneal and oral administration, respectively. Mexiletine decreases or inhibits conduction across the Purkinje fiber-muscle junction, shortens action potential duration, and decreases the refractory period when used at concentrations less than 5 μg/ml in isolated canine Purkinje fiber and ventricular muscle preparations.

一般的な説明Mexiletine hydrochloride,1-methyl-2-(2,6-xylyloxy)ethylamine hydrochloride (Mexitil)(pKa 8.4), is a class IB antiarrhythmic agent that is effectivewhen given either intravenously or orally. It resembles lidocainein possessing a xylyl moiety but otherwise is differentchemically. Mexiletine hydrochloride is an ether and is notsubject to the hydrolysis common to the amides lidocaineand tocainide. Its mean half-life on oral administration isapproximately 10 hours.Although not subject to hydrolysis, mexiletine hydrochlorideis metabolized by oxidative and reductiveprocesses in the liver. Its metabolites, p-hydroxymexiletineand hydroxymethylmexiletine, are not pharmacologicallyactive as antiarrhythmic agents.
定義ChEBI: A hydrochloride composed of equimolar amounts of mexiletine and hydrogen chloride.
