Product Description
Orphenadrine HCl is an orally bioavailable, noncompetitive NMDA receptor blocker (antagonist) (BBB (blood-brain barrier) permeable/penetrable) with Ki of 6.0 μM. Orphenadrine HCl relieves stiffness, pain, and discomfort caused by muscle strains, sprains, or other injuries, and is also used to relieve tremors caused by Parkinson's disease (PD). Orphenadrine HCl has good neuro-protective (neuro-protection) effects and may be utilized in study/research of neurodegenerative diseases.
Orphenadrine Hydrochloride (CAS#: 341-69-5) is an orally active, non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist that crosses the blood-brain barrier. With a molecular formula of C13H22ClNO and a molecular weight of 305.84, it is a muscle relaxant with antiparkinsonian, antispastic, and analgesic properties. Orphenadrine inhibits [3H]MK-801 binding to the phencyclidine (PCP) binding site of the NMDA receptor in homogenates of postmortem human frontal cortex with a Ki-value of 6.0 ± 0.7 μM. It blocks open NMDA receptor channels with fast kinetics and in a strongly voltage-dependent manner. Orphenadrine also inhibits the noradrenergic transporter and is a muscarinic antagonist. It is used to relieve stiffness, pain, and discomfort due to muscle strains, sprains, or other injuries, and is also used to relieve tremors caused by Parkinson's disease.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
NMDA receptor (uncompetitive antagonist), muscarinic receptor (antagonist), and noradrenergic transporter (inhibitor). Orphenadrine Hydrochloride is an uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist with a KI of 6.0 ± 0.7 μM. The NMDA receptor antagonistic effects were assessed using patch-clamp techniques on cultured superior colliculus neurones, showing that orphenadrine blocks open NMDA receptor channels with fast kinetics and in a strongly voltage-dependent manner. The IC50-value against steady state currents at -70 mV was 16.2 ± 1.6 μM. Orphenadrine competitively inhibited [3H]nisoxetine binding in rat vas deferens membranes (KI = 1.05 ± 0.20 μM), indicating interaction with the noradrenaline reuptake system. It also functions as a muscarinic antagonist, blocking the action of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors in the central nervous system.
ln Vitro
In cerebellar granule cells, orphenadrine hydrochloride (12 µM; 24.5 hours) has neuroprotective properties against 3-NPA-induced neurotoxicity [1].
Orphenadrine Hydrochloride demonstrates potent NMDA receptor antagonism in vitro. It inhibits [3H]MK-801 binding to the PCP binding site of the NMDA-receptor with a Ki-value of 6.0 ± 0.7 μM. Patch-clamp studies on cultured superior colliculus neurones confirmed that orphenadrine blocks open NMDA receptor channels with fast kinetics and in a strongly voltage-dependent manner. The IC50-value against steady state currents at -70 mV was 16.2 ± 1.6 μM. Orphenadrine competitively inhibits [3H]nisoxetine binding in rat vas deferens membranes (KI = 1.05 ± 0.20 μM), indicating it interacts with the noradrenaline reuptake system. Its muscle relaxant and analgesic properties are attributed to its NMDA receptor antagonism and noradrenaline reuptake inhibition.
ln Vivo
In a dose-dependent manner, orphenadrine hydrochloride (10, 20, 30 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once daily for 3 days) decreases 3-NPA-induced mortality [1]. In vivo, orphenadrine hydrochloride (30 mg/kg; intraperitoneally; once daily for three days) exhibits efficacy against neuronal injury produced by 3-NPA [1].
Orphenadrine Hydrochloride is an orally active NMDA receptor antagonist that has been used as an antiparkinsonian, antispastic, and analgesic drug. It relieves stiffness, pain, and discomfort due to muscle strains, sprains, or other injuries. The compound crosses the blood-brain barrier, enabling its central nervous system effects. It is also used to relieve tremors caused by Parkinson's disease. Its muscle relaxant properties are primarily based on a blockade of glutamate receptors. Orphenadrine has also been reported to inhibit the noradrenergic transporter.
Enzyme Assay
NMDA receptor binding assays are performed using homogenates of postmortem human frontal cortex. [3H]MK-801 binding to the phencyclidine (PCP) binding site of the NMDA-receptor is measured in the presence of varying concentrations of Orphenadrine Hydrochloride. The Ki-value is 6.0 ± 0.7 μM. Patch-clamp techniques on cultured superior colliculus neurones are used to assess NMDA receptor antagonistic effects. Orphenadrine blocks open NMDA receptor channels with fast kinetics and in a strongly voltage-dependent manner. The IC50-value against steady state currents at -70 mV was 16.2 ± 1.6 μM. Noradrenaline reuptake inhibition is assessed by competitive inhibition of [3H]nisoxetine binding in rat vas deferens membranes (KI = 1.05 ± 0.20 μM).
Cell Assay
Cell viability assay [1]
Cell Types: CGC cells (7-day-old Sprague Dawley rats)
Tested Concentrations: 6, 12, 24, 48 µM
Incubation Duration: 24.5 h
Experimental Results: Prevent cells from aggregation and volume reduction induced by 3-NPA and broken nerves.
Orphenadrine Hydrochloride is evaluated in cell-based assays using cultured superior colliculus neurones. Patch-clamp techniques are employed to record NMDA receptor currents. Orphenadrine blocks open NMDA receptor channels with fast kinetics and in a strongly voltage-dependent manner. The IC50-value against steady state currents at -70 mV is 16.2 ± 1.6 μM. In rat vas deferens membranes, [3H]nisoxetine binding is assessed to evaluate noradrenaline reuptake inhibition. Cell viability is assessed using standard assays such as MTT or LDH to ensure compound concentrations are non-cytotoxic. Each experiment includes vehicle controls and appropriate positive controls.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Adult male Sprague Dawley rat (275-300 g; 3-NPA toxicity model) [1].
Doses: 10, 20, 30 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; one time/day for 3 days (30 minutes before 3-NPA)
Experimental Results: The mortality rate of rats poisoned by 3-NPA was diminished to 10-40% (3 -NPA-treated animals demonstrated general incoordination, lethargy, and general weakness). 3-NPA-induced weight loss was restored, and PBR levels and HSP27 expression were diminished when the dose was 30 mg/kg. (PBR and HSP27 are markers of neuronal damage).
In vivo efficacy of Orphenadrine Hydrochloride is evaluated in animal models of muscle spasticity, pain, and Parkinson's disease. The compound is administered orally at doses determined by preclinical studies. Muscle relaxant effects are assessed using models of muscle rigidity and spasticity. Analgesic effects are evaluated in pain models such as the formalin test or hot plate test. Antiparkinsonian effects are assessed in models of Parkinson's disease using behavioral tests of motor function. Sample sizes typically range from 6-10 animals per group. Clinical studies have been conducted for muscle spasm, pain relief, and Parkinson's disease tremors.

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Overview of Use During Lactation
There is currently no publicly available information regarding the use of oxyphenadrine during lactation. The manufacturer estimates that the drug concentration in breast milk may be low. The anticholinergic activity of this drug may interfere with milk production. Alternative medications are recommended.
◉ Effects on Breastfed Infants
No relevant publicly available information was found as of the revision date.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breast Milk
Ophenadrine has anticholinergic activity. Anticholinergic drugs can inhibit lactation in animals, possibly by inhibiting the secretion of growth hormone and oxytocin. Anticholinergic drugs can also lower serum prolactin levels in non-lactating women. Prolactin levels in established lactating mothers may not affect their ability to breastfeed.
Orphenadrine Hydrochloride is generally well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. Common adverse effects may include dry mouth, blurred vision, and dizziness due to its anticholinergic properties. As an NMDA receptor antagonist, it may have central nervous system effects. It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to the compound or with certain cardiovascular conditions. Standard toxicology studies have demonstrated an acceptable safety profile for its approved uses. The compound is for research use only and not for human therapeutic use.
