Racemic norepinephrine is a 1:1 mixture of (R)- and (S)-norepinephrine enantiomers, primarily synthesized via chemical resolution or asymmetric catalysis. It serves as a critical reference standard in pharmaceutical research. Molecular Formula: C8H11NO3; CAS No.: 51-41-2 (for the racemate).
This substance is not approved for direct clinical therapeutic use due to the lack of stereochemical specificity required for efficacy. Strict storage conditions below -20°C under inert atmosphere are mandatory to prevent oxidation. Personnel must utilize appropriate PPE to avoid dermal contact and inhalation hazards.
