GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS |
||
Naftopidil, an alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist, is used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) which causes urinary problems by prostate gland enlargement. It acts to smooth muscles of the prostate and thus increase urinary flow rate; known as more effective than finasteride. Chemically it is described as (+-)-1-(4-(2-Methoxyphenyl) piperazinyl)- 3-(1-naphthyloxy)propan-2-ol. The dichloride salt of naftopidil is a white crystalline powder; insoluble in water, soluble in methanol; 125 - 126 C; administered orally. | ||
