Использование

Muscle relaxant (skeletal)
Carisoprodol has an onset of action of ca. 30min and a duration of 4–6h. It is administered orally. Presumably, it acts by inhibiting interneuronal activity in the spinal cord and the brainstem reticular formation. Clinically effective doses are accompanied by drowsiness or dizziness; its mechanism may involve sedation.Its CNS depressant effects are additive with those of ethanol and other psychotropic agents. Carisoprodol has a low potential for drug dependence.

Определение

ChEBI: A carbamate ester that is the mono-N-isopropyl derivative of meprobamate (which is a significant metabolite). Carisoprodol interrupts neuronal communication within the reticular formation and spinal cord, resulting in sedation and alter tion in pain perception. It is used as a muscle relaxant in the symptomatic treatment of musculoskeletal conditions associated with painful muscle spasm.

Подготовка

Carisoprodol is Prepared by reaction of 2-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-pro-panediol with phosgene and ammonium hydroxide, then with isopropyl isocyanate.

Общее описание

Carisoprodol, N-isopropyl-2-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol dicarbamate, 2-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol carbamate isopropylcarbamate(Soma), is the mono-N-isopropyl–substituted relative ofmeprobamate. The structure is given in the discussion ofmeprobamate. It is indicated in acute skeletomuscular conditionscharacterized by pain, stiffness, and spasm. As canbe expected, a major side effect of the drug is drowsiness.

Insoluble in water.

Профиль реактивности

Carisoprodol is a carbamate ester. Carbamates are chemically similar to, but more reactive than amides. Like amides they form polymers such as polyurethane resins. Carbamates are incompatible with strong acids and bases, and especially incompatible with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is produced by the combination of active metals or nitrides with carbamates. Strongly oxidizing acids, peroxides, and hydroperoxides are incompatible with carbamates.

SYMPTOMS: The most common symptoms of exposure to Carisoprodol are drowsiness and hives. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, epigastric distress, vertigo, ataxia, tremors, agitation, irritability, headache, insomnia, fainting, hiccups, visual disturbances, asthma, fever, hypotension, excitement and paralysis.
