Product Data
Biological target:
Clonidine hydrochloride is an agonist of α2-adrenoceptor and potent antihypertensive agent.
In vitro activity:
HCEP cells were treated with various doses of clonidine for 1-28 h, resulting in abnormal morphology, decline of cell viability and G1 phase arrest in a time- and/or dose-dependent manner. Reference: Toxicol Sci. 2017 Mar 1;156(1):252-260. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28115640/
In vivo activity:
Clonidine (0.05, 0.1 mg/kg, ip) inhibited synaptic plasticity in a dose-dependent manner, accompanying with the decreasing of aortic pressure and heart rate (HR) in anesthetized rats. Clonidine (1.25, 2.5 μg/kg, icv, 10 min before HFS) also dose-dependently inhibited synaptic plasticity, which had no remarkable effect on HR and aortic pressure.
