Lanperisone (hydrochloride)

Lanperisone hydrochloride is a novel oral muscle relaxant with anticancer activity. Lanperisone hydrochloride produces non-apoptotic cell death by inhibiting monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflex potentials. Lanperisone hydrochloride is also believed to play an important role in the dysregulation of iron metabolism and antioxidant systems to modulate processes associated with ischemic stroke[1].
