Adiphenine is a ternary amino ligand. It is used as a local anesthetic that reduces the frequency of acetylcholine-induced single-channel currents. It was originally introduced as a spasmolytic agent. Adiphenine reduced the muscle tone of the gastrointestinal tract, bile duct and gallbladder, bronchi, bladder. It affects the tone of the muscles of the eye, causing the pupil dilated (mydriasis), increased intraocular pressure, and paralysis of accommodation. Influences on the cardiovascular system, causing tachycardia and improving AV-conduction. Adiphenine side effects are: nausea, vomiting, heartburn, dizziness, headache. Adiphenine has not been widely used clinically.

Sample Use Guides

50-100 mg 2-3-4 times per day. Course of treatment - 3-4 weeks.
Route of Administration: Oral
Adiphenine decreased the frequency of ACh-induced single-channel currents. Adiphenine decreased cluster duration (36-fold at 100 uM x L(-1)). Preincubation with adiphenine did not change amplitude but increased the decay rate (IC(50)= 15 uM x L(-1)).
