Tolperisone is a centrally acting muscle relaxant that has been used for the treatment of post-stroke spasticity and low back pain. Recently, the safety of tolperisone pharmaceutical products has been reassessed due to growing concerns over allergic adverse events. Reactive degradants of tolperisone may be responsible for these hypersensitivity reactions.

Background: Drug repurposing is an attractive strategy for extending the arsenal of oncology therapies. Tolperisone is an old centrally acting muscle relaxant used for treatment of chronic pain conditions. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effect and mechanism of tolperisone in human cancers and explored the combination strategy with proteasome inhibitor and immunotherapy.

Tolperisone hydrochloride is a centrally-acting muscle relaxant used for relieving spasticities of neurological origin and muscle spasms associated with painful locomotor diseases. It is metabolized to the inactive metabolite mainly by CYP2D6 and, to a lesser extent, by CYP2C19 and CYP1A2. In our previous study, the pharmacokinetics of tolperisone was significantly affected by the genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6, but the wide interindividual variation of tolperisone pharmacokinetics was not explained by genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6 alone.

Current treatment approaches to manage neuropathic pain have a slow onset and their use is largely hampered by side-effects, thus there is a significant need for finding new medications. Tolperisone, a centrally acting muscle relaxant with a favorable side effect profile, has been reported to affect ion channels, which are targets for current first-line medications in neuropathic pain. Our aim was to explore its antinociceptive potency in rats developing neuropathic pain evoked by partial sciatic nerve ligation and the mechanisms involved.

Tolperisone is a nonopioid, centrally acting muscle relaxant in clinical development in the USA for the treatment of symptoms associated with acute, painful muscles spasms of the back. CLN-301, RESUME-1, is a 14-day double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group Phase III study of the efficacy and safety of tolperisone administered orally three-times daily in 1000 male and female subjects at approximately 70 clinical sites in the USA experiencing back pain due to or associated with muscle spasm of acute onset. Tolperisone is a promising therapeutic for managing acute, painful muscle spasms of the back as it appears to lack the off-target CNS effects often seen with conventional skeletal muscle relaxants.
