Metabolite Identification
Common NameMeclofenoxate
DescriptionMeclofenoxate, also known as meclofenoxic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenoxyacetic acid derivatives. Phenoxyacetic acid derivatives are compounds containing an anisole where the methane group is linked to an acetic acid or a derivative. Meclofenoxate is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Meclofenoxate, as well as DMAE, have been found to increase the lifespans of mice by 30–50%. It is sold in Japan and some European countries, such as Germany, Hungary, and Austria, as a prescription drug. It is an ester of dimethylethanolamine (DMAE) and 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (pCPA). Meclofenoxate is considered to be very safe and high in tolerability. However, possible side effects may include, rarely, insomnia, dizziness, restlessness, muscle tremor, depression, nausea, muscle tension, and headache; these side effects may be due to overdosage and may indicate the need for the dosage to be reduced. In addition to Lucidril, meclofenoxate has also been marketed under the brand names Amipolen, Analux, Brenal, Cellative, Centrophenoxin, Cerebron, Cerutil, Closete, Helfergin, Lucidryl, Lutiaron, Marucotol, Proserout, Proseryl, and Ropoxyl. In elderly patients, meclofenoxate has been found clinically to improve memory, have a mentally stimulating effect, and improve general cognition. Meclofenoxate also increases cellular membrane phospholipids. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Meclofenoxate is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Meclofenoxate is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
