EFAROXAN HYDROCHLORIDE Structural

What is EFAROXAN HYDROCHLORIDE?

Description

Efaroxan HCl (89197-00-2) is a selective α2-adrenergic receptor antagonist1 (selectivity ratio of α2/α1 = 724)4 and imidazoline receptor antagonist2. Induces release of insulin in the rat insulinoma cell line RIN-5AH by interaction with ATP-sensitive potassium channels independently from imidazoline I1 or I2 receptors.3 Efaroxan HCl increases resting plasma insulin levels and markedly potentiates the rise in insulin levels produced by adrenaline in the rat.4

The Uses of EFAROXAN HYDROCHLORIDE

Efaroxan Hydrochloride is a potent α2-AR adrenoceptor antagonist.

What are the applications of Application

Efaroxan hydrochloride is a potent α2-AR adrenoceptor antagonist

Biological Activity

Potent, highly selective α 2 adrenoceptor antagonist and imidazoline I 1 receptor ligand (pK i values are 7.87, 7.42, 5.74, 7.28 and < 5 for α 2A , α 2B , α 2C , I 1 , and I 2 receptors respectively). Promotes insulin secretion, at a site distinct from I 1 or I 2 (the putative I 3 receptor) in vitro and in vivo .
