Dexoxadrol is a sigma receptor agonist. Dexoxadrol, the D-isomer of dioxodrol, which produces PCP-like behavioural effects and displaces bound [3H]PCP, was a potent blocker of the PCP-sensitive, voltage-gated K+ channel. Dexoxadrol was developed as analgesics for use in humans, however, severe side effects including psychotomimetic effects, unpleasant dreams and aberrations stopped the clinical evaluation of dexoxadrol. Dexoxadrol is a NMDA receptor antagonist, which possesses high affinity to the phencyclidine binding site within the NMDA receptor associated ion channel.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

In hospitalized cancer and arthritic patients dexoxadrol at 10 mg or 20 mg dosage in combination with 600 mg of acetylsalicylic acid has analgesic properties significantly superior to either acetylsalicylic acid (600 mg) or codeine (60 mg) alone. Administration of dexoxadrol (20 mg, orally, twice daily) to 128 patients with severe pain gave complete relief to 50 % and partial relief to 28 % of the patients.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Dexoxadrol (10 uM) selectively blocked the secondary components of the synaptic response in rat hippocampal slices.
