Dipivefrin
Dipivefrin is an α/β-adrenoceptor agonist and a prodrug of epinephrine. Dipivefrin regulates intraocular pressure by agonizing α/β-adrenoceptors and modulating the aqueous humor outflow pathway. Dipivefrin acts on neuroblastoma cells and downregulates glutamate-induced intracellular calcium levels. Dipivefrin is used in research related to α/β-adrenoceptor-mediated diseases, such as glaucoma.

In Vitro
Dipivefrin (2.8-280 μM; 100 min) significantly inhibits the proliferation of cultured human corneal stromal cells only at a high concentration of 280 μM[3].
Dipivefrin (0.28-28 mM; 100 seconds) dose-dependently inhibits glutamate-induced elevation of [Ca2+]i and decreases basal [Ca2+]i in cultured N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells[4].

In Vivo
Dipivefrin (10 µg/kg; i.p.; before memory retrieval) administered before memory retrieval enhances the ability of alcohol-associated light cues to serve as conditioned reinforcers, indicating bidirectional modulation of alcohol memory reconsolidation through enhanced central adrenergic signaling[2].
