DL-Octopamine hydrochloride

Химические свойства

DL-Octopamine hydrochloride is a light-yellow crystalline solid and derived from the dried young fruit of Citrus aurantium L., a plant of the Rutaceae family,It is soluble to 10 mg/ml in PBS, 10 mg/ml in EtOH, and 12 mg/ml in DMSO & DMF. Its use is similar to that of Synflorin HCL. It is an adrenergic alpha-receptor stimulant with vasoconstrictive and hypertensive effects.

Использование

A biogenic amine that is the phenol analog of Noradrenaline. It is a neurosecretory product found in several vertebrates and invertebrates. Adrenergic.

Биологическая активность

Invertebrate biogenic amine neurotransmitter, related to noradrenalin, that is an adrenoceptor agonist. Stimulates lipolysis in mammalian adipocytes via activation of β 3 receptors. Has dual effect on glucose transport in adipocytes: inhibits transport via β 3 receptor activation but stimulates transport when oxidised by MAO. Also activates human α 2A receptors, inhibiting subsequent cAMP production.

Способ действия

Octopamine hydrochloride is an invertebrate biogenic amine neurotransmitter, related to noradrenalin, that is an adrenoceptor (AR) agonist. Octopamine hydrochloride stimulates lipolysis in mammalian adipocytes via activation of β3-AR receptors. Has dual effect on glucose transport in adipocytes: inhibits transport via β3-AR receptor activation but stimulates transport when oxidised by MAO. Also activates human α2A-AR receptors, inhibiting subsequent cAMP production.
