Epinine or deoxyepinephrine is an active form of Ibopamine, which is used as a cardiovascular agent in congestive heart failure. Epinine is a stimulant of alpha-adrenoceptor activities: alpha-1 and alpha-2. Experiments on pig’s eyes have shown that epinine can be a promising candidate substance for intraoperative (e.g., cataract surgery) intracameral use in humans.

Sample Use Guides

SIM2055 (FOSOPAMINE) was administered at increasing doses (from 100 to 300 mg).
Route of Administration: Oral
One hundred twelve eyes from newly slaughtered pigs were used. After pretreatment with 20 mg intracameral acetylcholine to give miosis, 0.15 mL epinine was given as an intracameral injection. The pupils were filmed during 90 seconds with a video camera connected to an operation microscope, and the mean pupil diameters were measured from the video recordings. In 37 additional eyes, 0.15 mL vehicle, 1.5% epinine was injected intracamerally, and the eyes were kept on ice overnight. Epinine had a significantly larger mydriatic effect than phenylephrine at equal concentrations.
