Description: Peripherally acting μ agonist; Ca2+ channel blocker
Chemical Name: 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-α,α-diphenyl-1-piperidinebutanamide hydrochloride
Purity: ≥99% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Loperamide hydrochloride
Loperamide hydrochloride is a high affinity μ-opioid receptor agonist with peripheral selectivity (Ki values are 2, 48 and 1156 nM for μ-, δ- and κ-opioid receptors respectively). Antidiarrhoeal and antihyperalgesic agent. Also a Ca2+ channel blocker; at low micromolar concentrations it blocks broad spectrum neuronal HVA Ca2+ channels and at higher concentrations it reduces Ca2+ flux through NMDA receptor operated channels. Inhbits replication of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV in vitro.
