Metabolite Identification
Common NamePapaverine
DescriptionPapaverine, also known as mesotina or cerespan, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzylisoquinolines. These are organic compounds containing an isoquinoline to which a benzyl group is attached. Papaverine has also been demonstrated to be a selective phosphodiesterase inhibitor for the PDE10A subtype found mainly in the striatum of the brain. Papaverine is a drug. Papaverine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Papaverine is a bitter tasting compound. Outside of the human body, papaverine has been detected, but not quantified in, opium poppies. This could make papaverine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. It is not a first line drug such as a few beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, and some anticonvulsants such as divalproex, but rather when these first line drugs and secondary drugs such as SSRIs, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, etc. fail in the prophylaxis of migraines, have intolerable side effects or are contraindicated. It is used in the treatment of acute mesenteric ischemia. Frequent side effects of papaverine treatment include polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, constipation, interference with sulphobromophthalein retention test (used to determine hepatic function), increased transaminase levels, increased alkaline phosphatase levels, somnolence, and vertigo. It is also commonly used in cryopreservation of blood vessels along with the other glycosaminoglycans and protein suspensions. The hydrochloride salt is available for intramuscular, intravenous, rectal and oral administration.
