Phenylephrine Consensus Reports

 Phenylephrine (59-42-7) is reported in EPA TSCA Inventory.

Phenylephrine Specification

Phenylephrine with the CAS NO. 59-42-7 has the Synonyms of (-)-Phenylephrine;phenylephrine base; (-)-M-hydroxy-alpha-(methylaminomethyl)benzyl alcohol; (-)-M-hydroxy-alpha-(methylaminomethyl)benzylalcohol; (-)-M-oxedrine; (R)-3-hydroxy-alpha-[(methylamino)methyl]benzenemethanol hydrochloride; (R)-benzenemethano;(r)-phenylephrine. Phenylephrine is a selective α1-adrenergic receptor agonist used primarily as a decongestant, as an agent to dilate the pupil, and to increase blood pressure.

Physical properties about Phenylephrine are: (1)ACD/LogP: 0.117; (2)ACD/LogD (pH 5.5): -2.91; (3)ACD/LogD (pH 7.4): -1.78; (4)ACD/BCF (pH 5.5): 1.00; (5)ACD/BCF (pH 7.4): 1.00; (6)ACD/KOC (pH 5.5): 1.00; (7)ACD/KOC (pH 7.4): 1.00; (8)#H bond acceptors: 3; (9)#H bond donors: 3; (10)#Freely Rotating Bonds: 5; (11)Index of Refraction: 1.572; (12)Molar Refractivity: 47.449 cm3; (13)Molar Volume: 144.258 cm3; (14)Polarizability: 18.81 10-24cm3; (15)Surface Tension: 49.1800003051758 dyne/cm; (16)Density: 1.159 g/cm3; (17)Flash Point: 163.4 °C; (18)Enthalpy of Vaporization: 61.709 kJ/mol; (19)Boiling Point: 341.068 °C at 760 mmHg

Uses of Phenylephrine: Phenylephrine is used as a decongestant sold as an oral medicine, as a nasal spray, or as eye drops. Phenylephrine is now the most common over-the-counter (OTC) decongestant in the United States. Phenylephrine is sometimes used as a vasopressor to increase the blood pressure in unstable patients with hypotension. It is used as an eye drop to dilate the pupil in order to facilitate visualization of the retina. It is often used in combination with tropicamide. Narrow-angle glaucoma is a contraindication to phenylephrine use.

When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following:
1. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice;
2. Wear suitable protective clothing;
3. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show label where possible);

You can still convert the following datas into molecular structure:
