Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Phenoxybenzamine HCl is a non-specific, irreversible alpha-adrenergic receptor antagonist. By forming a permanent covalent bond with adrenergic receptors, it prevents the binding of endogenous ligands including adrenaline and noradrenaline. This irreversible receptor blockade inhibits alpha-1 adrenoceptor signaling in vascular smooth muscle cells, effectively blocking signal transduction and downstream vasoconstriction. Consequently, this antagonism leads to sustained vasodilatation and reduced vascular tone. [1]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
