DL-Adrenalin Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Solid

Uses

Endogenous catcholamine with combined α-and β-agonist activity. Principal sympathomimetic hormone produced by the adrenal medulla. Bronchodilator; cardiostimulant; mydriatic; antiglaucoma.

Uses

DL-Adrenaline is a hormone and a neurotransmitter secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands. In medicine DL-Adrenaline is used chiefly as a stimulant in cardiac arrest, as a vasoconstrictor in shock, and as a bronchodilator and antispasmodic in bronch

Uses

A hormone and neurotransmitter

Definition

ChEBI: A catecholamine in which the aminoethyl side-chain is hydroxy-substituted at C-1 and methylated on nitrogen.

brand name

Vaponefrin (Fisons).

General Description

Odorless light brown or nearly white crystals.

Air & Water Reactions

Slightly water soluble .

Reactivity Profile

Light sensitive. Incompatible with heat, air, iron salts, and alkalis. . An aminoalcohol. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides. Incompatible with heat, air, iron salts, and alkalis. .

Health Hazard

SYMPTOMS: Pallor, tremor, anxiety, nervousness, rapid, forceful pulse, rise in blood pressure and temperature, rapid breathing, dilation of the pupils.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for DL-Adrenalin are not available, however, DL-Adrenalin is probably combustible.
