Biological Activity

Description Prazosin HCl (cp-12299-1) is a competitive alpha-1 adrenoceptor antagonist, used to treat high blood pressure or benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Targets
alpha-adrenergic receptor [1]
In vitro
In vitro Prazosin leads to a significant increase in VEGF concentration in endothelial cells and angiogenesis only if eNOS is present. Prazosin binds to the α1-adrenergic receptors that are present on smooth muscle cells surrounding all larger blood vessels. [1] Prazosin (0.1 nM) blocks the increases in perfusion pressure caused by electrical stimulation of the perimesenteric nerves but does not significantly reduce the vasomotor effect of exogenous noradrenaline. [2]
In Vivo
In vivo Prazosin application leads to the expansion of the capillary system by modulation of the hemodynamic environment (flow rate, shear stress) in skeletal muscle. Prazosin induces angiogenesis in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of C57BL/6 mice but not eNOS-knockout mice. [1] Prazosin (0.5-2.0 mg/kg) blocks Yohimbine-induced reinstatement of food and alcohol seeking, as well as footshock-induced reinstatement of alcohol seeking in rats. [3] Prazosin (0.2mg kg(-1) s.c.) causes an enhancement of a suppression of conditioned avoidance response in the presence of the dopamine D2 receptor antagonist raclopride (0.05-0.20 mg/kg s.c.) in rats. [4] Prazosin administration alone (1 mg/kg, s.c.) only slightly reduces horizontal activity during an initial 10 min measurement period, although it consistently reduces rearing in freely moving rats. Prazosin effectively suppresses the locomotor stimulation caused by either dose of MK-801 throughout the whole observation period in freely moving rats. [5]

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
