WHAT DOES EPHEDRINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ephedrine

Ephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine commonly used as a stimulant, appetite suppressant, concentration aid, decongestant, and to treat hypotension associated with anaesthesia. Ephedrine is similar in molecular structure to the well-known drugs phenylpropanolamine and methamphetamine, as well as to the important neurotransmitter epinephrine. Chemically, it is an alkaloid with a phenethylamine skeleton found in various plants in the genus Ephedra. It works mainly by increasing the activity of norepinephrine on adrenergic receptors. It is most usually marketed as the hydrochloride or sulfate salt. The herb má huáng, used in traditional Chinese medicine, contains ephedrine and pseudoephedrine as its principal active constituents. The same may be true of other herbal products containing extracts from other Ephedra species.
