Milverine (Fenprin, Fenpyramine, Miospasm) is a spasmolytic (antispasmodic) agent that was developed in the latter half of the 20th century.

The therapeutic use of fenpyramin as a platelet-antiaggregating and antithrombotic as well as vasodilating and antianginous medicine was also identified.

Milverine is a bifunctional molecule; one half of the molecule contains 3,3-Diphenylpropylamine and the other half of the molecule contains fampridine.

Synthesis

The chemical synthesis of milverine was identified.

Milverine synthesis
Milverine synthesis

Conjugate soft addition of benzene to cinnamic acid (1) gives 3,3-diphenylpropionic acid (2). Halogenation with thionyl chloride gives 3,3-diphenylpropionyl chloride (3). Schotten-Baumann reaction with 4-aminopyridine (Fampridine) (4) gives 3,3-diphenyl-N-(4-pyridyl)propionamide (5). The last step involves reduction of the amide bond giving milverine (6), respectively.
