Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Phenoxybenzamine is an α-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist used to treat hypertension and as a peripheral vasodilator. Phenoxybenzamine reduced neuronal death in rat hippocampal slice cultures following exposure to oxygen glucose deprivation. Phenoxybenzamine treated TBI (traumatic brain injury) animals also showed a significant improvement in both learning and memory compared to saline treated controls. At 32 h post-TBI phenoxybenzamine treated animals had significantly lower expression of pro-inflammatory signaling proteins CCL2, IL1β, and MyD88, suggesting that phenoxybenzamine may exert a neuroprotective effect by reducing neuroinflammation after TBI.
