Chemistry:Pivenfrine

From HandWiki

Pivenfrine (INN), also known as pivalylphenylephrine or phenylephrine pivalate, is a sympathomimetic and mydriatic agent which was never marketed.[1][2][3][4] It is the 3-pivalyl ester of phenylephrine.[1] Pivenfrine has much greater lipophilicity than phenylephrine.[5] Higher lipophilicity is known to greatly improve corneal permeability, as in dipivefrine (epinephrine dipivalate).[6] Another related compound is etilefrine pivalate (ethylnorphenylephrine pivalate).[1]
