Ergocristine is an alkoloid originally isolated from Iberian ergot. In the rat, ergocristine acts as an alpha 2-adrenoceptors agonist, and an alpha 1-adrenoceptors antagonist. It is able to regulate glutamate uptake and dopamine release. Ergocristin...
Pseudoyohimbine is an alkaloid isolated from the bark of Corynanthe johimbe and Rauwolfia canescens.
Idazoxan is an alpha2 receptor antagonist which also shows activity at imidazoline I1 and I2 receptors and modulates the release of dopamine. Idazoxan was in phase II development in the US. Later the development of idazoxan for schizophrenia was disc...
(+)-octopamine is an enantiomer of octopamine, a naturally occurring phenolamine acting as a neurotransmitter in invertebrates. Octopamine is considered to be trace amine present in mammalian tissues at very low (nanomolar) concentrations. Generally,...

Conditions:

(R)-carvedilol, an enantiomer of the drug carvedilol, which is used in the treatment of mild to moderate congestive heart failure. (R)-carvedilol is an alpha adrenergic receptor blocker. It was shown, that (R)-carvedilol increased sympathetic tone, p...

Conditions:

(S)-carvedilol, an enantiomer of the drug carvedilol, which is used in the treatment of mild to moderate congestive heart failure. (S)-carvedilol is an alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptor blocker. It was shown, that only (S)-carvedilol caused beta-bl...

Conditions:

Alfuzosin, a quinazoline derivative, acts as a selective and competitive antagonist of alpha 1-adrenoceptor-mediated contraction of prostatic, prostatic capsule, bladder base and proximal urethral smooth muscle, thereby reducing the tone of these str...
