| Tolperisone |
As a skeletal muscle relaxant whose prototype is mephenesine, tolperisone induces ataxia and muscle weakness in animal models by acting on the central nervous system at the spinal level. In fact it inhibits polysynaptic and monosynaptic reflexes with little action on non-reflex muscle response and without potentiating the phenobarbital sleep. |
