BRL 44408 maleate is a selective antagonist of α2A-adrenoceptor with Ki values of 1.7 and 144.5 nM for α2A- and α2B-adrenoceptors, respectively.
α2A-adrenoceptor is a G-protein coupled receptor. α2-adrenergic receptors include three subtypes: α2A, α2B and α2C, which play an important role in regulating neurotransmitter release from adrenergic neurons in the central nervous system and from sympathetic nerves.
BRL 44408 maleate is a selective α2A-adrenoceptor antagonist. In rat brain, BRL 44408 inhibited the binding of 5-HTIA receptor radioligands 8-OH-DPAT and RX 821002 to cortical membranes with Ki values of 199 and 338 nM respectively, which suggested that BRL 44408 recognized 5-HT1A receptor [1].
In wild type and monoamine oxidase-A knockout (MAO-A KO) mice, BRL 44408 (100 nM) inhibited the effect of dexmedetomidine, the α2 agonist. BRL 44408 (100 nM) increased evoked noradrenaline (NA) efflux in MAO-A KO mice. In wild type mice, BRL 44408 antagonized the agonist effect of dexmedetomidine with pKB value of 7.75, which inhibited locus coeruleus (LC) cell firing with EC50 value of 2.6 nM [2]. In the forced swim test, BRL 44408 reduced immobility time. In schedule-induced polydipsia assay, BRL 44408 increased adjunctive water intake, which suggested that BRL 44408 exhibited antidepressant-like response. In a visceral pain model, BRL 44408 exhibited analgesic activity [3].

General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
