Description

Napamezole hydrochloride is an orally active α-2 adrenergic receptor antagonist and serotonin (5-HT Receptor) reuptake inhibitor, with Ki values of 28 nM and 93 nM for rat α-2 and α-1 adrenergic receptors, respectively. Napamezole hydrochloride can be used for the research of depression[1][2].

IC50 & Target[2][1]

α2-adrenergic receptor

28 nM (Ki)

α1-adrenergic receptor

93 nM (Ki)

5-HT Receptor

 

In Vitro

Napamezole (hydrochloride) inhibits [3H]Clonidine binding to rat brain alpha-2 adrenergic receptors with a Ki of 28 nM and inhibits [3H]Prazosin binding to rat brain alpha-1 adrenergic receptors with a Ki of 93 nM[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Napamezole (p.o.; s.c.) antagonizes clonidine-induced analgesia in mice, with an ED50 of 36 mg/kg via intragastric administration and 3 mg/kg via subcutaneous injection, indicating that it exhibits in vivo α2-adrenergic receptor blocking activity[1].
Napamezole (30 mg/kg; p.o.) enhances the conversion rate of norepinephrine in the rat brain, confirming its in vivo α-2 adrenergic receptor blocking activity[1].
Napamezole (≥ 1 mg/kg, i.v.) enhances the firing activity of locus coeruleus neurons in rats and reverses the inhibitory effect of Clonidine on this firing activity, indicating that it exhibits in vivo α2-adrenergic receptor blocking activity[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
