Fosenazid (Gidifen, Фозеназид) is a tranquilizer with notable central nicotinic-cholinolytic, antiadrenergic, and antiserotonin effects.[1][2] Fosenazide is currently prescribed only in Russia, where it is used specifically for the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome.[1] Its unique chemical structure and pharmacological profile distinguish it from other neuroactive agents, with strong inhibitory activity against adrenaline and serotonin systems.[1][3]

Fosenazide is an organophosphorus-containing medicine,[3] and contains an acylhydrazine functional group.

Pharmacology

Gidifen has a tranquilizing activity.[4] The drug has an antihypertensive action and reduces tachycardia caused by the emotional stress. It has a selective anti-phobic and anti-aggressive ("serenic/ataractic/psycholeptic") action and does not produce ataxia.[5]

It is patented for psychic and nervous disorders.[6]

Synthesis

The synthesis has been discussed:[7][8] & in a USA patent:[9] Precursor:[10][11] Soviet patents:[12][13][14][15] Swiss patent:[16]

File:Fosenazide synthesis.svg

Diphenylphosphinic acid [1707-03-5] (1) is reacted with ethyl chloroacetate (2) in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane and trimethylchlorosilane to give Diphenylphosphinyl acetic acid ethyl ester i.e. ethyl (diphenylphosphoryl)acetate [6361-05-3] (3). Further reaction with hydrazine gives the required Fosenazide (4).

An entirely new synthesis pathway was identified in 2025.[17][18]
