(R)-Oxybutynin D10

(R)-Oxybutynin D10 is a medication used to treat overactive bladder symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequency, and incontinence. It is a chiral compound, meaning it has two mirror-image forms, and (R)-Oxybutynin D10 is the enantiomer with the R-configuration. This specific form of oxybutynin is labeled as D10, which indicates that it has been labeled with ten deuterium atoms for use in research and clinical studies. The chemical structure of (R)-Oxybutynin D10 consists of a tertiary amine linked to a phenyl group and a cyclohexyl group through a carbonyl group. The molecule acts as an antimuscarinic agent, which means it works by blocking the action of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors in the bladder muscle, thereby reducing bladder contractions. Clinical studies have found that (R)-Oxybutynin D10 is effective in reducing urinary frequency and incontinence in patients with overactive bladder. It is typically administered orally in tablet form and is metabolized in the liver before being excreted in the urine. Like other medications, (R)-Oxybutynin D10 may cause side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision. It may also interact with other medications, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking this medication.
