Metabolite Identification
Common NameChlorphenesin
DescriptionChlorphenesin, also known as clorfenesina or p-chlorophenyl, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenol ethers. These are aromatic compounds containing an ether group substituted with a benzene ring. Chlorphenesin is a drug which is used, along with rest and physical therapy, to treat injuries and other painful muscular conditions. investigated for use in trigeminal neuralgia (tic douloureux), a neuropathic disorder characterized by severe facial pain. was investigated as a modulator of histamine release. Chlorphenesin is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. The mechanism of action of chlorphenesin is not well defined, and its effects are measured mainly by subjective responses. Chlorphenesin is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Its mode of action is unknown. Chlorphenesin is a potentially toxic compound. Chlorphenesin is a muscle relaxant. It is a centrally acting muscle relaxant. It blocks nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to the brain.

General function:
Involved in monooxygenase activity
Specific function:
Cytochromes P450 are a group of heme-thiolate monooxygenases. In liver microsomes, this enzyme is involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway. It performs a variety of oxidation reactions (e.g. caffeine 8-oxidation, omeprazole sulphoxidation, midazolam 1'-hydroxylation and midazolam 4-hydroxylation) of structurally unrelated compounds, including steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics. Acts as a 1,8-cineole 2-exo-monooxygenase. The enzyme also hydroxylates etoposide.
