Eperisone (hydrochloride)

Eperisone Hydrochloride ((±) -Eperisone hydrochloride) is an orally active antispastic agent with a vasodilator effect, used for the research of muscle stiffness and pain. Eperisone Hydrochloride is a potent and selectively P2X7 receptor antagonist, also shows antagonism for human P2X3. Eperisone Hydrochloride works by relaxing both skeletal muscles and vascularsmooth muscles, demonstrating a variety of effects such as reduction ofmyotonia, improvement of circulationand and suppression of the pain reflex[1][2][3][4][5][6].
