Properties
Description
Atipamezole HCl, soluble in DMSO, ethanol and water, inhibits the signaling pathway between G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and G proteins. It targets α2 adrenergic receptor.
Molecular Formula
C14H16N2·HCl
Targets
α2 Adrenergic receptor
Solubility
DMSO: 12 mg/mL (48.24 mM); Water: 21 mg/mL (84.42 mM); Ethanol: 48 mg/mL (192.96 mM)
Applications
Atipamezole HCl can be studied for its effect on blocking the α2-adrenergic receptors, which results in the reversal of sedative and analgesic effects induced by α2-adrenergic agonists.
