BE 2254 is an adrenergic agent and antagonist of central noradrenergic receptor stimulation.
Uses
BE2254 is a compound with antipyretic and metabolic activity, which has the activity of regulating the febrile response and metabolism. BE2254 can reduce the metabolic and febrile activity induced by lipopolysaccharide in febrile rabbits, suggesting that it may regulate body temperature by acting on the α1-adrenergic receptor mechanism.
Definition
ChEBI: 2-[[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethylamino]methyl]-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one is a member of tetralins.
