UNII 04JA59TNSJ - PHENYLEPHRINE HYDROCHLORIDE

3 Phenylpropanolamine
UNII 8D5I63UE1Q - PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE

Phenylpropanolamine is a sympathomimetic agent which is used as a decongestant and appetite suppressant. It was commonly used in prescription and over-the-counter cough and cold preparations. Although originally thought to act as a direct agonist of adrenergic receptors, phenylpropanolamine was subsequently found to show only weak or negligible affinity for these receptors, and has been instead characterized as an indirect sympathomimetic which acts by inducing norepinephrine release and thereby activating adrenergic receptors.
