Fluprofylline
Fluprofylline (Sgd 144/8) is a selective α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist with a pIC50 of 7.55. Fluprofylline attenuates the pressor response induced by 5-HT (HY-B1473A). Fluprofylline can be used in hypertension research.

In Vitro
Fluprofylline binds to central α2-adrenoceptor sites in rat brain membranes with a very low -log IC50 of 4.63[1].
Fluprofylline binds to rat brain membrane α1-adrenoceptors with a -log IC50 of 7.55, and is highly selective for α1-adrenoceptors over α2-adrenoceptors and 5-HT2 receptors.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
Fluprofylline (10-5 mol/kg; i.a.; single dose) acts as a selective α1-adrenoceptor antagonist in pithed normotensive rats, with a 43-fold greater potency for α1- over α2-adrenoceptors[1].

Animal Model:Wistar rats (male, 200-300 g, pithed for vascular adrenoceptor antagonism testing)[1]
-
Dosage:10-5 mol/kg
-
Administration:i.a.; single dose
-
Result:Produced a dose-ratio (DR) of 95 for antagonism of amidephrine-induced α1-adrenoceptor-mediated pressor responses.
Produced a DR of 2.2 for antagonism of B-HT 920-induced α2-adrenoceptor-mediated pressor responses.
Yielded an α1/α2 selectivity ratio of 43.
Did not significantly influence baseline diastolic pressure.
