Metabolite Identification
Common NameEdrophonium
DescriptionEdrophonium, also known as tensilon, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aniline and substituted anilines. These are organic compounds containing an aminobenzene moiety. Edrophonium is a drug which is used for the differential diagnosis of myasthenia gravis and as an adjunct in the evaluation of treatment requirements in this disease. it may also be used for evaluating emergency treatment in myasthenic crises. Edrophonium is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). The chloride salt is used in myasthenia gravis both diagnostically and to distinguish between under- or over-treatment with other anticholinesterases. It has also been used for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade in anaesthesia, and for the management of poisoning due to tetrodotoxin, a neuromuscular blocking toxin found in puffer fish and other marine animals. It is a reversible inhibitor of cholinesterase, with a rapid onset (30-60 seconds after injection) but a short duration of action (5-15 minutes). A quaternary ammonium ion that is N-ethyl-N,N-dimethylanilinium in which one of the meta positions is substituted by a hydroxy group.
