摘要: The first synthesis of m-hydroxymexiletine (MHM) has been accomplished. MHM displayed hNav1.5 sodium channel blocking activity, and tests indicate it to be ∼2-fold more potent than the parent mexiletine have favorable toxicological properties mexiletine. Thus, possible related prodrugs might studied as agents for treatment arrhythmias, neuropathic pain, myotonias in substitution (metabolite switch), which turned out tainted with common toxicity.
