Naphazoline

A vasoconstrictor of the imidazoline family, patented in 1934 and used since the early 1940s as a nasal decongestant; today it is also found in eye drops for red eyes. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?Its name recalls the two parts of the molecule: naphthalene, the substance of old-fashioned mothballs, and the imidazoline ring that names its chemical family.
