Chemical Information

Oxymetazoline

Oxymetazoline is a member of the class of phenols that is 2,4-dimethylphenol which is substituted at positions 3 and 6 by 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-ylmethyl and tert-butyl groups, respectively. A direct-acting sympathomimetic with marked alpha-adrenergic activity, it is a vasoconstrictor that is used (generally as the hydrochloride salt) to relieve nasal congestion. It has a role as a sympathomimetic agent, an alpha-adrenergic agonist, a vasoconstrictor agent and a nasal decongestant. It is a member of phenols, a carboxamidine and a member of imidazolines. It is a conjugate base of an oxymetazoline(1+).
