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 .
