[4] Midodrine is an odorless, white, crystalline powder, soluble in water and sparingly soluble in methanol. [19] Midodrine's experimental log P is -0.5 and its predicted log P ranges from -0.49 to -0.95.
Desglymidodrine (developmental code name ST-1059) is the active metabolite of the prodrug antihypotensive agent midodrine. [1] [2] [3] It acts as a selective α 1-adrenergic receptor agonist. [1] [2] [3] Desglymidodrine is formed from midodrine via deglycination. [1] [2] [3]
A systematic review and meta-analysis conducted on clinical trials comparing the clinical use of droxidopa and midodrine have found that midodrine was more likely to cause supine hypertension than droxidopa in patients with NOH. Midodrine was also found to be slightly more effective at raising blood pressure but not statistically significantly ...
