DETAILS

Description (English)
Research Area: Neurological Disease
Biological Activity:
Methocarbamol(Robaxin) is a central muscle relaxant used to treat skeletal muscle spasms. It is the carbamate of guaifenesin, but does not produce guaifenesin as a metabolite, since the carbamate bond is not hydrolyzed metabolically; metabolism is by Phase I ring hydroxylation and O-demethylation, followed by Phase II conjugation. All of the major metabolites are unhydrolyzed carbamates infarction. [1]
