| Name | Phenylephrine |
| Description | Phenylephrine ((R)-(-)-Phenylephrine) is a selective α1-adrenoceptor agonist ( pKi: 5.86, 4.87 and 4.70 for α1D, α1B, and α1A receptors respectively). |
| In vitro | Phenylephrine promotes cardiac fibroblast proliferation. Phenylephrine activates CaN and evokes NFAT3 nuclear translocation. It suggests that the Ca(2+)/CaN/NFAT pathway mediates Phenylephrine-induced cardiac fibroblast proliferation, and this pathway might be a possible therapeutic target in cardiac fibrosis [1][2][3]. |
| In vivo | Phenylephrine could enhance the alveolar fluid clearance in high tidal volume-ventilated rats and accelerate the absorption of pulmonary edema. Perfusion of hearts with Phenylephrine (100 μM) induces a rapid (maximal at 10 min) 12-fold activation of two p38-MAPK isoforms. α1-adrenoceptor agonists such as Phenylephrine increase the contractility of the heart. Phenylephrine also activates SAPKs/JNKs in neonatal ventricular myocytes [4][5]. |
