Metabolite Identification
Common NameLevonordefrin
DescriptionLevonordefrin, also known as corbadrine or neo-cobefrin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylpropanes. These are organic compounds containing a phenylpropane moiety. Levonordefrin is a drug which is used as a topical nasal decongestant and vasoconstrictor in dentistry. Levonordefrin is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). It acts as a topical nasal decongestant and vasoconstrictor, most often used in dentistry. It has pharmacologic activity similar to that of Epinephrine but it is more stable than Epinephrine. Here it can, therefore, cause vasoconstriction.
