Nefopam
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Nefopam (Fenazoxine) is an orally active, non-opioid and non-steroidal centrally acting analgesic agent. Nefopam blocks voltage-sensitive sodium channels (IC50=27 μM) and modulates glutamatergic transmission in rodents. Nefopam can be used in studies of neuropathic pain, anticonvulsant, as well as the prevention of postoperative shivering and hiccups.

Biological Activity
Nefopam (0.1-100 μM; 15 min) inhibits the uptake of 22Na in a concentration-dependent manner in SK-N-SH cells[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
