4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Mephenesin was used for the treatment of muscle spasticity in diseases like Parkinson's or Multiple Sclerosis.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Mephenesin reduced neuronal excitability leading to decreases action potentials to muscle fibers which ultimately produces a reduction in spasticity.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Muscle Relaxants, Central

A heterogeneous group of drugs used to produce muscle relaxation, excepting the neuromuscular blocking agents. They have their primary clinical and therapeutic uses in the treatment of muscle spasm and immobility associated with strains, sprains, and injuries of the back and, to a lesser degree, injuries to the neck. They have been used also for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions that have in common only the presence of skeletal muscle hyperactivity, for example, the muscle spasms that can occur in MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1991, p358) (See all compounds classified as Muscle Relaxants, Central.)


5.3 ATC Code

M - Musculo-skeletal system

M03 - Muscle relaxants

M03B - Muscle relaxants, centrally acting agents

M03BX - Other centrally acting agents

M03BX06 - Mephenesin


5.4 Mechanism of Action

The exact mechanism of action of mephenesin is not known. It has been observed to block both inward sodium and inward calcium currents in neurons. It has a physiological effect which opposes that of strychnine.
