Galanthamine hydrobromide versus neostigmine.

Polymorphic Study of (-)-galanthamine Hydrobromide

Nivalin (galanthamine hydrobromide), an additional decurarizing agent. Some introductory observations.

Galanthamine hydrobromide (Nivalin), an alkaloid from the bulbs of snowdrops, is widely used in Bulgaria as an antagonist to non-depolarizing muscle relaxants. The pharmacology is reviewed and experiences in the use of galanthamine in 24 patients are described. It is about one-tenth as potent as neostigmine. As changes in pulse rate and blood pressure were slight, it is rarely necessary to inje...

Preparation of Arsenobetaine hydrobromide

Crystalline arsenobetaine hydrobromide is deposited directly on addition of trimethylarsine to a benzene solution of bromoacetic acid. The product is stable, non-deliquescent and may be readily converted into the free betaine by passage through basic ion exchange resin.

Antioxidant properties of galantamine hydrobromide.

The antioxidant properties of galantamine hydrobromide ((4alpha,6beta)-4a,5,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-3-methoxy-11-methyl-6H-benzofuro[3a,3,2-ef][2]benzazepin-6-ol hydrobromide) were studied in vitro, using luminol-dependent chemiluminescence and spectrophotometry. It was found that this compound was a scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS). By comparing the antioxidant effects of galantamine ((...
