Management of Traumatic Brain Injury Sequelae With Alpha-2 Adrenergic Receptor Agonists

open access: closedJournal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation
Objective: To describe clinical uses of the class of alpha-2 receptor agonist medications in the treatment of traumatic brain injury sequelae. Clinicians treating patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) will often see patients who have been prescribed alpha-2 agonists or may consider initiating use.

Different Affinities of α2-Agonists for Imidazoline and α2-Adrenergic Receptors

American Journal of Hypertension, 1989
It has recently been shown that imidazoline alpha 2-adrenergic agonists, such as clonidine and UK 14,304, selectively bind to both alpha 2- and imidazoline receptors in basolateral membranes from rabbit renal proximal tubule. In order to define the relative affinity of three antihypertensive alpha 2-agonists for the two classes of receptors, we ...

Pharmacological screening of a new alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, mafedine, in zebrafish

Neuroscience Letters, 2019
Pharmacological agents acting at alpha-2 adrenergic receptors are widely used in physiology and neuroscience research. Mounting evidence of their potential utility in clinical and experimental psychopharmacology, necessitates new models and novel model organisms for their screening. Here, we characterize behavioral effects of mafedine (6-oxo-1-phenyl-2-

Alpha-2 Adrenergic Receptor Agonists

2014
Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonists include clonidine, guanfacine, guanabenz, methyldopa, rilmenidine, and moxonidine. These are centrally active antihypertensive drugs.

Peripheral nociceptive effects of α2-adrenergic receptor agonists in the rat

Neuroscience, 1995
We have previously shown that norepinephrine can produce hyperalgesia via an alpha 2-adrenergic receptor mechanism. The alpha 2-adrenergic receptor agonist clonidine has, however, also been shown to produce peripheral analgesia. In view of the multiple alpha 2-subtypes currently known (i.e.

[Adrenergic receptor and alpha 2 agonist--2: Structure-function relationship of adrenoceptors].

open access: closedMasui. The Japanese journal of anesthesiology, 1997
Recombinant DNA experiments using chimeric receptors containing portions of alpha 2 and beta 2 adrenoceptors demonstrated structure-function relationships of adrenoceptors. The seventh transmembrane domain determines the subtype ligand binding specificity between alpha 2 and beta 2 adrenoceptors.

p-[125I]iodoclonidine, a novel radiolabeled agonist for studying central alpha 2-adrenergic receptors.

Molecular Pharmacology, 1990
Unlabeled p-iodoclonidine was efficacious in attenuating forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation in SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells. Maximal attenuation was 76 +/- 3%, with an EC50 of 347 +/- 60 nM. Comparable values of epinephrine were 72 +/- 3% and 122 +/- 22 nM. Responses to both agonists were abolished by 10 microM phentolamine.

Cross‐dependence to opioid and α 2 ‐adrenergic receptor agonists in NG108‐15 cells

The FASEB Journal, 1988
Clonidine, a partial alpha 2-agonist, has been used empirically to alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms, but the mechanism of its effects is not completely understood. We studied the interactions of opioid and adrenergic receptor agonists in the NG108-15 cells, which are a model of opiate dependence.
