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.

ARC 239 is a selective α-2B adrenergic blocker.
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..
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

1. The noradrenaline (NA)-activated response was investigated in neurones acutely dissociated from the rat locus coeruleus (LC) using nystatin-perforated, conventional whole-cell and inside-out patch recording modes under current- and voltage-clamp conditions. 2. Under current-clamp conditions, NA hyperpolarized the LC neurones
The rat rostral raphé nuclei receive catecholaminergic innervation from the locus coeruleus and other areas. In the present study, we investigated noradrenergic modulation of 5-HT release in rat dorsal and median raphé nuclei (DRN and MRN) slices (350 microm thick)
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
