Azepexole dihydrochloride
Azepexole (B-HT 933) dihydrochloride is a potent and selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist with pKis of 8.3, 7.6, and 7.5 for α2A-, α2B- and α2C-adrenoceptor subtypes, resepctively. Azepexole dihydrochloride causes concentration-dependent inhibition of peristaltic contractions (IC50= 78.72 nM).

In Vitro
In normoglycemic rats, the sympathetically-induced vasopressor responses are dose-dependently inhibited by 1 and 3 μg/kg.min (i.v.) Azepexole dihydrochloride, with 10 and 30 μg/kg.min Azepexole dihydrochloride producing no further inhibition. In diabetic rats, the electrically-induced vasopressor responses are: (i) unchanged by 1 and 3 μg/kg.min Azepexole dihydrochloride; (ii) significantly inhibited at all frequencies of stimulation by 10 μg/kg.min B-HT 933 dihydrochloride; and (iii) similarly inhibited (i.e. supramaximal inhibition) by 30 μg/kg.min Azepexole dihydrochloride[1].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.
