Description

Application

Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride has been used to study its effects on primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes under hypoxic/reoxygenation conditions. It has also been used to study the effects of dexmedetomidine pretreatment on lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in mice.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride is a highly potent and selective α2-adrenergic agonist with analgesic and sedative properties, the (+)-isomer of medetomidine. Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride is used clinically as an anesthetic agent to reduce anxiety and tension and promote relaxation and sedation without causing respiratory depression.
