Although the exact mechanism of action is unknown, pregabalin selectively binds to alpha2delta (A2D) subunits of presynaptic voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) located in the central nervous system (CNS).
Hexane /ËhÉkseÉªn/ is an alkane of six carbon atoms, with the chemical formula C 6 H 14. typical laboratory use of hexanes is to extract oil and grease contaminants from water and soil for analysis. Since hexane cannot be easily deprotonated, it is used in the laboratory for reactions that involve very strong bases, such as the preparation of organolithiums.
Hexane is commonly used to the extract oils we use on an everyday basis from a variety of vegetables and their seeds. When refined, hexane liquid can be produced from crude oil, a substance found deep beneath the earth's surface. It's also found in the adhesives used to make shoes and can be used to remove oil from tough surfaces. Hexane is a type of hydrocarbon that consists of six carbon atoms surrounded by 14 hydrogen atoms. Like any compound ending in '-ane', hexane is an alkane. It is commonly referred to as n-hexane and classified as a saturated hydrocarbon.
