Biological Activity
Mefexamide (1 g; 15 min refluxed) undergoes acid hydrolysis to yield four breakdown products, and the compound exhibits distinct spectroscopic and chromatographic profiles, including a melting point of 112 °C, UV absorption maximum at 285 nm, and characteristic EI/CI mass spectra[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Mefexamide reverses Tetrabenazine (HY-B0590)-induced ptosis in male Wistar rats[2].
Mefexamide (5-20 mg/kg; i.v.; singer dose) significantly potentiates LSD-25-induced hyperthermia in male rabbits[2].
Mefexamide (5-20 mg/kg; i.v.; singer dose) potentiates Noradrenaline (HY-13715)-induced hyperthermia in male rabbits, with less significant effects than seen with LSD-25[2].
Mefexamide (10 mg/kg; i.v.; singer dose) protects against Reserpine (HY-N0480)-induced lowering of the bemegride convulsion threshold in male rabbits[2].
Mefexamide (10 mg/kg; i.v.; singer dose) does not significantly alter the EEG of normal male rabbits[2].
