Description

Phenytoin sodium is an inactive voltage-gated sodium channel stabilizer.Target: Sodium ChannelPhenytoin sodium is an antiepileptic drug. It is useful to treat partial seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures but not primary generalized seizures such as absence seizures or myoclonic seizures. Phenytoin is believed to protect against seizures by causing voltage-dependent block of voltage-gated sodium channels [1]. Phenytoin has low affinity for resting sodium channels at hyperpolariz


An anticonvulsant that is used to treat a wide variety of seizures. It is also an anti-arrhythmic and a muscle relaxant. The mechanism of therapeutic action is not clear, although several cellular actions have been described including effects on ion channels, active transport, and general membrane stabilization. The mechanism of its muscle relaxant effect appears to involve a reduction in the sensitivity of muscle spindles to stretch. Phenytoin has been proposed for several other therapeutic uses, but its use has been limited by its many adverse effects and interactions with other drugs.

Phenytoin sodium Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Preparation of Phenytoin Sodium in Water with Sodium chloride (20percent w.r.t Phenvtoin); Phenytoin (2Og) was dissolved in 120 mL of DM water and Sodium hydroxide solution (3.56g dissolved in water 22.5mL) at 25-300C in a 250 mL four-necked RBF. The reaction mixture was filtered and the clear filtrate was collected and Sodium chloride solution (4g Dissolved in water 1OmL) was added to it. The reaction mass was cooled to 5-100C under nitrogen atmosphere and stirred for 60min. The solid was filtered under vacuum nitrogen atmosphere and washed the product with 2OmL of chilled water. The solid was dried at 50-600C under nitrogen atmosphere to obtain 18.5g of dry Phenytoin sodium. Yield : approx. 85percent w.r.t. Phenytoin; Preparation of Phenvtoin Sodium in Water with Sodium Chloride (30percent w.r.t Phenvtoin); Phenytoin (25g) was dissolved in 150 mL of DM water and Sodium hydroxide solution (4.45g dissolved in water 25mL) at 25-300C in a 250 mL four-necked RBF. The reaction mixture was filtered and the clear filtrate was collected and Sodium chloride solution (7.5g Dissolved in water 22mL) was added to it.

Drug Function and Efficacy

Antiepileptic drugs, antiarrhythmic drugs. The therapeutic dose does not cause sedation and hypnosis, and has a selective antagonistic effect on the tonic phase of super-strong electric shock and convulsion, but is ineffective or even aggravates the spasm phase. Therefore, it is effective for grand mal epileptic seizures, but ineffective for absence seizures. Its antiepileptic mechanism is generally believed to increase the outflow of sodium ions from cells, reduce the inflow of sodium ions, stabilize the nerve cell membrane, increase the excitation threshold, and reduce the spread of high-frequency discharges in the lesion. In addition, this product shortens the action potential interval and the effective refractory period, and can also inhibit the influx of calcium ions, reduce myocardial autonomy, inhibit the sympathetic center, and have an inhibitory effect on the ectopic rhythm points of the atria and ventricles, and increase the thresholds for atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
