Garomefrine hydrochloride Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Garomefrine hydrochlorid (ABT-232) is an α1A-adrenergic agonist with the potential to inhibit urinary incontinence. Garomefrine hydrochlorid showed the greatest contractility in pig nasal mucosal vessels. The biological activity of Garomefrine hydrochlorid has been shown to give it a competitive advantage compared to other drugs. The potency of Garomefrine hydrochlorid makes it a valuable research object in related research[1].
