Product Description
Nefopam (Fenazoxine) is an orally bioavailable, non-opioid, non-steroidal centrally acting analgesic. Nefopam blocks voltage-sensitive sodium channels (IC50=27 µM) and modulates glutamatergic transmission in rodents. Nefopam has been studied for use against neuropathic pain, anticonvulsant (antiepileptic/antiseizure)s, and to prevent postoperative shivering and hiccups.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In SK-N-SH cells, nevopam (0.1-100 µM; 15 min) inhibits 22Na absorption in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
ln Vivo
Nefopam (0-10 mg/kg; iv; single) shields mice from seizures brought on by electroshock[1]. In a vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy model, neviropam (10, 30, 60 mg/kg; ip; single) exhibits a dose-dependent reduction in mechanical allodynia and a drop in neurokinin -1 receptor concentration[2].
Cell Assay
Cell Viability Assay[1]
Cell Types: SK-N-SH cells
Tested Concentrations: 0.1 -100 µM
Incubation Duration: 15 min (preincubate)
Experimental Results: Inhibited the uptake of 22Na with an IC50 value of 27 µM.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Adult male NMRI mice (25-30 g; 6 to7weeks old; electroshock-induced seizures model)[1]
Doses: 0-10 mg /kg
Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) injection; single
Experimental Results: Produced dose-dependent protection against maximal electroshock seizures in mice with an ED50 of 3.8 (2.9-5.1) mg/kg.

Animal/Disease Models: Adult male mice (10weeks old; 25- 30 g; vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy model)[2].
Doses: 10, 30, 60 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; single
Experimental Results: Dramatically diminished the percentage of NK1 receptors in the spinal cord at dosage of 60 mg/kg. demonstrated a sustained increase in paw withdrawal threshold against mechanical stimuli.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation
Nefopam is not approved in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration. The amount of nefopam in breastmilk with usual maternal dosages is small. Nefopam does not appear to adversely affect the milk supply or the neurobehavioral scores of breastfed neonates. Breastfeeding is acceptable during maternal use of nefopam, although some recommend not using it after 48 hours postpartum.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants
Sixty-six women who had cesarean section deliveries were two groups postpartum: intravenous (IV) nefopam 20 mg every 6 hours or IV acetaminophen 1 gram every 6 hours as well as IV ketoprofen 50 mg every 6 hours in both groups Neonatal neurobehavioral scores were recorded at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-caesarean by a pediatrician blinded to the group allocation. No difference was found between the groups in the behavioral scores.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk
Sixty-six women who had cesarean section deliveries were two groups: IV nefopam 20 mg every 6 hours or IV acetaminophen 1 gram every 6 hours. All women received the same preoperative analgesia consisting of spinal bupivacaine, sufentanil, and morphine as well as intravenous ephedrine and phenylephrine to prevent hypotension. Postoperatively, all received IV oxytocin by infusion and IV ketoprofen 50 mg every 6 hours. Milk production was assessed by weighing the newborn before and after each breastfeed on days 2 and 3. No statistical differences were seen between the two groups in the weight difference before and after each feed, the newborn daily weight curve evolution, or the fall in weight between days 0 and 2. Mothers also rated their breast fullness to assess the onset of lactogenesis II; no difference was found between the two groups in the time to lactogenesis II. There was also no difference in serum prolactin between the groups.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
