Application

ARC 239 is a potent α-adrenoceptor blocking drug, competitively antagonizing pressor responses to adrenaline and inhibiting pressor responses to noradrenaline, phenylephrine, tyramine, and dimethylphenylpiperazinium.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ARC 239 is a selective α-2B adrenergic blocker. Although ARC-239, like prazosin, also has some alpha-1 antagonist activity, it is used most commomly to differentiate alpha-2A/D from alpha-2B and alpha-2C subtypes rather than for any alpha-1 inhibition..

In this study, we used subtype-selective antagonists to determine the subtype of alpha2-adrenoceptor controlling noradrenaline release in rat locus coeruleus. Noradrenaline release was measured in locus coeruleus slices using fast cyclic voltammetry at carbon fibre microelectrodes. On long stimulation trains

The presynaptic modulation of [3H]-noradrenaline (NA) release from rat kidney cortex slices, a method used for the first time, was investigated. Rat kidney cortex slices were loaded with [3H]-NA and the release of radioactivity at rest and in response to

Exogenous pyrogens, e.g., bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), are thought to stimulate macrophages to release endogenous pyrogens, e.g., TNF alpha, IL-1 beta, and IL-6, which act in the hypothalamus to produce fever. We studied the effect of different alpha 1- and alpha

The profile of [3H]RX821002 (2-methoxy idazoxan) binding to alpha2-adrenoceptor subtypes in rat kidney membranes was evaluated in controls and after chronic treatment with desipramine (10 mg/kg, i.p., every 12 h, 7 days) or clorgyline (2 mg/kg, i.p., every 24 h

The subtype determination of auto- and hetero-alpha 2-adrenoceptors modulating the synthesis of noradrenaline (NA) and serotonin (5-HT), respectively, was assessed using the accumulation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) after decarboxylase inhibition as a measure of the rate of tyrosine
