Lofexidine-d4 hydrochloride
Lofexidine-d4 hydrochloride (Baq-168-d4) is the deuterium labeled Lofexidine hydrochloride (HY-B1052). Lofexidine hydrochloride (Baq-168) 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 hydrochloride binds to the α2A-adrenergic receptor, reduces sympathetic outflow, lowers blood pressure, and exhibits vasoconstrictive effects. Lofexidine hydrochloride regulates the expression of c-fos and alleviates opioid withdrawal symptoms. Lofexidine hydrochloride is applicable to research on opioid addiction and withdrawal.

Biological Activity
Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
1. This compound can be used as a tracer
2. This compound can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
