Description: Na+ channel blocker
Chemical Name: trans-4-[[(2-Amino-3,5-dibromophenyl)methyl]amino]cyclohexanol hydrochloride
Purity: ≥99% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Ambroxol hydrochloride
Ambroxol hydrochloride is a sodium channel blocker and mucolytic agent with antioxidant, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties. Inhibits tetrodotoxin (TTX)-resistant channels more potently than TTX-sensitive subtypes (IC50 values for tonic block are 35.2 and 111.5 μM respectively). Inhibits release of histamine, leukotrienes and cytokines from human leukocytes and mast cells. Inhibits viral replication and improves survival rate of mice infected with influenza (H3N2) virus.
Compound Libraries for Ambroxol hydrochloride
Ambroxol hydrochloride is also offered as part of the Tocriscreen Antiviral Library. Find out more about compound libraries available from Tocris.

Epilepsy Poster
Epilepsy is a brain disease that affects 60 million people globally. More than 20 anti-seizure drugs are currently available, but these do not address the underlying causes of the condition. This poster summarizes current knowledge about the development of the condition and highlights some approaches that have disease-modifying effects in proof-of-concept studies.
