Description
A 53693 is a selective adrenergic agonist with a chemical classification as a rigid catecholamine. It has affinity to certain alpha receptor subtypes in rat alpha-2 receptors. A-53693 is a useful probe of the molecular interactions of alpha agonistic compounds.
Uses
A 53693 is a rigid catecholamine with selective adrenergic agonist activity. A 53693 has affinity for certain rat alpha-2 receptor subtypes. A 53693 shows high selectivity for alpha-2 receptors and, in contrast, has low affinity for alpha-1 receptors. A 53693 is used as a probe in biological studies to explore the molecular interactions of alpha agonist compounds[1].
