Racephedrine, also known as racemic ephedrine and sold under the brand names Efetonina and Ephoxamine among others, is the racemic form of ephedrine which has been used as a bronchodilator to treat asthma.[1][2][3][4][5] More specifically, it is a racemic mixture of (1R,2S)- and (1S,2R)-enantiomers.[3] Conversely, ephedrine is the enantiopure (1R,2S)-enantiomer.[1] Racephedrine has been marketed for medical use in Italy.[1] Like ephedrine, racephedrine is a releasing agent of norepinephrine and to a much lesser extent of dopamine.[6][7][8][9] Both ephedrine enantiomers are active in this regard, but ephedrine ((1R,2S)-ephedrine) has greater potency than (1S,2R)-ephedrine.[6][7][8][9]

The smaller the value, the more strongly the substance releases the neurotransmitter. See also Monoamine releasing agent § Activity profiles for a larger table with more compounds.

Racephedrine has been used in a variety of combination drugs with other agents, including theophylline, aminophylline, oxtriphylline, phenobarbital, pentobarbital, pyrilamine, phenacetin, salicylamide, ascorbic acid, and opium, among others.[12] Brand names of these combination preparations have included Amiphedrin, Amodrine, Amodrine E C, Asphamal-D, Asthmadrin, Cenamal, Cholarace, Phedrahist, Respirol, Salidin, Synate-M, and Synophedal.[12]
