Dexmedetomidine

Research use only, not for human use.

Dexmedetomidine is a sedative medication used by intensive care units and anesthetists.

Dexmedetomidine is a sedative medication used by intensive care units and anesthetists.(In Vitro):Medetomidine has high selectivity for α2 adrenoceptors (Ki=1.08 nM) over α1 adrenoceptors (Ki=1750 nM) in rat brain membranes as measured by the displacement of [3H]clonidine.Medetomidine (0.1-100 nM) inhibits the twitch response in field-stimulated mouse vas deferens, with a pD2 of 9.0.(In Vivo):Medetomidine (10-100 μg/kg; i.v. at 5-min intervals) produces a dose-dependent pupillary dilatation in pentobarbitone-anaesthetized rats.

Animal Model:Female Sprague-Dawley rats (270-350 g) Dosage:1, 5, 10, 50, 100 mg/kg Administration:I.v. at 5-min intervals Result:Produced the pupil dilatation of 2.5 mm (approximately half of the maximum effect) at the cumulative dose of 4 μg/kg.
