Lofexidine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Lofexidine (Baq-168 free base) is an orally active agonist of the imidazoline I1 receptor (imidazoline I1 receptor) (Ki: 1.9 nM) and α2-adrenergic receptor (α2-adrenergic receptor). Lofexidine binds to the α2A-adrenergic receptor, reduces sympathetic outflow, lowers blood pressure, and exhibits vasoconstrictive effects. Lofexidine regulates the expression of c-fos and alleviates opioid withdrawal symptoms. Lofexidine is applicable to research on opioid addiction and withdrawal.

Biologische Aktivität

α adrenergic receptor |
Lofexidine binds to α2-adrenergic receptors in rat brain cell membranes, with a Kd value of 5.5 nM[1].
Lofexidine induces peripheral vasoconstriction in isolated rabbit ear central artery specimens[1].
Lofexidine attenuates norepinephrine-induced contraction responses of isolated vas deferens specimens in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Lofexidine (Intravenous administration) induces a transient hypertensive response followed by sustained hypotension in dogs and cats, whereas oral administration only causes hypotension[1].
Lofexidine reduces the expression of Fos protein in the locus coeruleus of morphine-addicted mice during opioid withdrawal[1].
Lofexidine (p.o.) induces reversible neurological symptoms in rats and dogs, with an LD50 of 70-147 mg/kg in rats[2].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (8.03 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (8.03 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
