Ephedrine molecule

Ephedrine. Computer graphic of a molecule of the drug ephedrine (C10.H15.N.O). The atoms (tubes) of the molecule are colour-coded: hydrogen (white), carbon (yellow), oxygen (red) and nitrogen (blue). Ephedrine is a stimulant drug that has similar effects to the natural body stimulant adrenaline. It stimulates the heart, dilates the bronchi (airways of the lungs) and constricts the blood vessels. It is used as a nasal decongestant and to treat asthma, and is administered by mouth or by inhalation. Side effects may include nausea, insomnia, headache and nervousness

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the Ephedrine molecule, a powerful drug with various medicinal applications. Created using computer graphics, each atom within the molecule is color-coded to aid in visual comprehension. The white tubes represent hydrogen atoms, yellow represents carbon atoms, red signifies oxygen atoms, and blue denotes nitrogen atoms. Ephedrine is classified as a stimulant drug that mimics the effects of adrenaline, a natural body stimulant. It possesses remarkable abilities to stimulate the heart while simultaneously dilating the bronchi (airways) and constricting blood vessels. These properties make it an effective nasal decongestant for treating asthma when administered orally or through inhalation. However, like any medication, Ephedrine does come with potential side effects such as nausea, insomnia, headaches, and nervousness. Despite these drawbacks, its significant impact on medical care cannot be overlooked. The molecular structure depicted in this artwork not only serves as a visually striking image but also provides valuable insights into biochemistry and pharmaceutical research. With its tubular arrangement and compound compounds composition visible through sticks and tubes representation techniques; this illustration exemplifies how science intersects with medicine to improve healthcare outcomes.
