Product Data
Biological target:
Midodrine hydrochloride ((±)-Midodrine hydrochloride) is an α1-receptor agonist.
In vitro activity:
The chronotropic effects of midodrine, glycine (10(-8) to 3.10(-3) M), ST1059 and methoxamine (10(-8) to 10(-3) M) were investigated in the spontaneously beating guinea-pig right atrial preparation. Midodrine and glycine produced a slight, but significant rise in atrial rate over a wide concentration range. Reference: Agents Actions. 1976 Sep;6(5):584-8. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/61715/
In vivo activity:
The effect of CP-533,536 (0.03-0.3 mg/kg, intravenous [i.v.]) on urethral perfusion pressure (UPP) was investigated in anesthetized rats pre-treated with midodrine (1 mg/kg, i.v.), which forms an active metabolite that acts as an α1 -adrenoceptor agonist. CP-533,536 dose-dependently decreased UPP elevated by midodrine in anesthetized rats. In conscious rats, midodrine (1 mg/kg, i.v.) markedly increased RV and reduced VE.
