Description | Dexmedetomidine ((+)-Medetomidine) is a potent, selective and orally active agonist of α2-adrenoceptor, with a Ki of 1.08 nM. Dexmedetomidine shows 1620-fold selectivity against α1-adrenoceptor. Dexmedetomidine exhibits anxiolysis, sedation, and modest analgesia effects[1][2][3]. |

In Vitro | Medetomidine has high selectivity for α2 adrenoceptors (Ki=1.08 nM) over α1 adrenoceptors (Ki=1750 nM) in rat brain membranes as measured by the displacement of [3H]clonidine[1]. Medetomidine (0.1-100 nM) inhibits the twitch response in field-stimulated mouse vas deferens, with a pD2 of 9.0[1]. |
In Vivo | Medetomidine (10-100 μg/kg; i.v. at 5-min intervals) produces a dose-dependent pupillary dilatation in pentobarbitone-anaesthetized rats[1]. Animal Model: Female Sprague-Dawley rats (270-350 g)[1] Dosage: 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 mg/kg Administration: I.v. at 5-min intervals Result: Produced the pupil dilatation of 2.5 mm (approximately half of the maximum effect) at the cumulative dose of 4 μg/kg. |
