Propacetamol is a bioprecursor of paracetamol. It is rapidly hydrolyzed by plasma esterases and releases its constituent paracetamol by the end of its intravenous or intramuscular administration. Its metabolism is identical to that of paracetamol. It is used in post-operative care and is delivered by I.V. It is given if the patient is unable to take oral or rectally delivered paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are contraindicated. The onset of analgaesia from propacetamol is more rapid than paracetamol given orally. 2 g of propacetamol are equivalent to 1g of paracetamol.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Propacetamol can cross the blood-brain barrier, producing a central analgesic effect.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Intravenous propacetamol (Propacetamol) was produced by Bristol-Myers Squibb, France, in 1985 under the trade name Pro-dafalgan. # Bristol-Myers Squibb

Sample Use Guides

Method of administration Intravenous route: Restricted to children weighing 33 kg or more and to adults. It is recommended to use the product immediately following reconstitution. Do not mix with other drugs because of the risk of incompatibility. Children weighing 33 kg or more Propacetamol is used in infusion over 15 minutes after dilution of the product, using a transfer device, in 5% glucose solution or 0.9% sodium chloride solution. In order to comply with blood volume, the maximum volume which may be infused in children is 1 to 2 ml/kg/injection. The 1 g powder should be dissolved in a 50 ml flexible bag. The 2 g powder should be dissolved in a 100 ml flexible bag. Adults After the product is reconstituted using the transfer device, administration takes place using 5% glucose solution or 0.9% sodium chloride solution (about 100 ml) over 15 minutes. Posology In children the posology is 30 mg/kg per injection, i.e. 1.5 ml/kg per injection of the 1 g solution reconstituted in 50 ml or the 2 g solution reconstituted in 100 ml, to be repeated if necessary after an interval of at least 6 hours, without exceeding the maximum daily posology of 120 mg/kg of propacetamol, i.e. 60 mg/kg of paracetamol. In adults the posology is 1 to 2 g, to be repeated if necessary after an interval of 4 hours, without exceeding 6 g per day, or in exeptional cases, 8 g per day. Frequency of administration Systematic administrations will avoid fluctuations of pain or fever. In children, they must be given at least 6 hours apart. In adults, they must be given at least 4 hours apart.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: To investigate whether PPCM (Propacetamol) exhibits hTRPV1-activating properties, HEK 293 cells expressing wild type hTRPV1 were examined by standard whole-cell voltage clamp. Measuring ramp currents by 500 ms long depolarizations from -100 to +100 mV, we applied PPCM at increasing concentrations (1 uM to 10 mM).
In hTRPV1-expressing cells 100 uM and higher concentrations activated membrane currents with a strong outward rectification in all cells which also generated capsaicin (1 uM)-induced currents
