MedKoo Cat#: 585110 | Name: Tramazoline HCl hydrate

Description:

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

Tramazoline is an imidazoline derivative that acts as a selective α1 adrenergic receptor agonist, primarily used as a topical nasal decongestant. Its pharmacological activity stems from vasoconstriction of nasal mucosal blood vessels, leading to reduced edema and improved airflow. In vitro studies show tramazoline has high affinity for α1A α 1D receptors (Ki values in the low nanomolar range), while demonstrating negligible activity at β-adrenergic or central nervous system receptors, minimizing systemic side effects. In vivo, intranasal administration in humans produces rapid onset of decongestion (within 5–10 minutes) with effects lasting 6–8 hours.
