Buphanidrin is a synthetic compound that primarily acts as a muscle relaxant and has applications in the treatment of muscle spasms and related conditions. It works by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions, thereby reducing the frequency and intensity of muscle contractions. This action helps to alleviate discomfort caused by muscle tension or spasms. While buphanidrin is not widely used in modern clinical practice, its mechanism of action is similar to other skeletal muscle relaxants that target neurotransmitter activity to reduce spasticity and muscle stiffness.
