General description
Carisoprodol (N-isopropyl-2-methyl-2-propyl-l,3-propanediol dicarbamate) is a dicarbamate that is structurally similar to mephenesin and meprobamate. It functions as a skeletal muscle relaxant and has analgesic properties. Although it does not have an effect on behavior, it inhibits reticular formation. The area associated with pain perception in the CNS is affected by carisoprodol for its analgesic activity.
Carisoprodol is actively metabolized to meprobamate, a depressant of the CNS having sedative hypnotic.
