Default Structure
ChEBI IDCHEBI:6933
ChEBI Namemidodrine
Stars
DefinitionAn aromatic ether that is 1,4-dimethoxybenzene which is substituted at position 2 by a 2-(glycylamino)-1-hydroxyethyl group. A direct-acting sympathomimetic with selective α-adrenergic agonist activity, it is used (generally as its hydrochloride salt) as a peripheral vasoconstrictor in the treatment of certain hypotensive states. The main active moiety is its major metabolite, deglymidodrine.

Roles Classification
Biological Roles:
alpha-adrenergic agonist  An agent that selectively binds to and activates α-adrenergic receptors.
sympathomimetic agent  A drug that mimics the effects of stimulating postganglionic adrenergic sympathetic nerves. Included in this class are drugs that directly stimulate adrenergic receptors and drugs that act indirectly by provoking the release of adrenergic transmitters.
Applications:
vasoconstrictor agent  Drug used to cause constriction of the blood vessels.
alpha-adrenergic agonist  An agent that selectively binds to and activates α-adrenergic receptors.
prodrug  A compound that, on administration, must undergo chemical conversion by metabolic processes before becoming the pharmacologically active drug for which it is a prodrug.
sympathomimetic agent  A drug that mimics the effects of stimulating postganglionic adrenergic sympathetic nerves. Included in this class are drugs that directly stimulate adrenergic receptors and drugs that act indirectly by provoking the release of adrenergic transmitters.
