N-(8-hydroxy-3,6-disulfonaphthalen-1-yl)glycine, also known as 8-hydroxy-1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid trisodium salt or Clonidine, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C10H7NO9S3. It is a yellow crystalline solid that is soluble in water. N-(8-hydroxy-3,6-disulfonaphthalen-1-yl)glycine is primarily used as a pharmaceutical agent, specifically as an antihypertensive drug, which helps lower blood pressure by affecting the central nervous system. It works by stimulating alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, leading to a decrease in peripheral resistance and a subsequent reduction in blood pressure. Clonidine is also used to manage withdrawal symptoms in patients undergoing detoxification from opioids and to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.
The CAS Registry Mumber 6262-32-4 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 6,2,6 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 2 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 6262-32: (6*6)+(5*2)+(4*6)+(3*2)+(2*3)+(1*2)=84 84 % 10 = 4 So 6262-32-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
