Etilefrine hydrochloride
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Etilefrine hydrochloride is a sympathetic nerve agonist and AMPK activator that selectively targets α1/β1 adrenergic receptors. Etilefrine hydrochloride stimulates α1 adrenergic receptors, leading to contraction of vascular smooth muscle and increased peripheral resistance. Etilefrine hydrochloride also stimulates β1 receptors to enhance myocardial contractility and increase heart rate, thereby increasing blood pressure and improving cardiac output. Etilefrine hydrochloride also bidirectionally regulates the AMPK/Akt pathway and modulates the phosphorylation levels. Etilefrine hydrochloride can be used in cardiovascular research, such as postural hypotension, chylothorax, and improving low cardiac output.

Etilefrine hydrochloride (10 μM; 1-2 h) significantly activates AMPKα (Thr172) phosphorylation and inhibits Akt (Ser473) phosphorylation in PC-3 and 293T cells[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:PC-3 (human prostate cancer), 293T (human embryonic kidney)
-
Concentration:5, 10, 50 μM
-
Incubation Time:1 h or 2 h
-
Result:Increased phosphorylated AMPKα (Thr172) by 1.5-2.0 fold and decreased phosphorylated Akt (Ser473) by 0.2-0.4 fold compared to controls, indicating AMPK activation and Akt inhibition in both cell lines.
Etilefrine (50 μg/kg, 200 μg/kg; intravenous injection; single dose) hydrochloride can increase cardiac output, right heart filling pressure and blood pressure at rest and reduce total peripheral resistance in New Zealand white rabbit experimental models. Total peripheral resistance increased at a dose of 200 μg/kg[3].

-
Animal Model:Anesthetized mongrel dogs (8.5-14 kg), postural hypotension model induced by hexamethonium and 30° tilt[2]
-
Dosage:0.1 mg/kg
-
Administration:Intravenous injection, single dose, acute experiment
-
Result:Significantly increased basal blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR). During tilt, it did not attenuate the decrease in systolic, diastolic, or mean BP, but tended to increase cardiac output (CO) without significant attenuation of tilt-induced CO reduction.
-
Animal Model:New Zealand white rabbits (male, 3.0-4.1 kg), resting cardiovascular function model[3]
-
Dosage:50 μg/kg, 200 μg/kg
-
Administration:Intravenous injection, single dose, acute experiment
-
Result:At 50 μg/kg, increased right heart filling pressure (RHFP), cardiac output (CO), and blood pressure (BP), reduced total peripheral resistance (TPR), and caused bradycardia.
At 200 μg/kg, it increased RHFP, BP, and TPR, while CO showed a minor decrease, indicating mixed α and β adrenoceptor-mediated effects.

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.48 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.48 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
