Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% Corn oil
2.05mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 41 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
2.05mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 41 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Phenylephrine HCl is a selective α1-adrenergic receptor agonist, used primarily as a decongestant.
Targets
α1-adrenergic receptor [1]
In vitro

Phenylephrine causes a rapid translocation of PKC-epsilon (EC50 = 0.9 mM) but the proportion lost from the soluble fraction is less than with ET-1. [1] Phenylephrine at pCa 7 causes a dose-dependent increase in contractile force of the hyperpermeable cells, which is reversible on addition of phentolamine. [2] Phenylephrine also protects cardiomyocytes against subsequent 24 h treatment with hypoxia and serum deprivation. Phenylephrine prevents the down-regulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-X mRNA/protein and induces hypertrophic growth. Phenylephrine-mediated protection is abrogated by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) inhibitor wortmannin and is mimicked by the caspase-9 peptidic inhibitor LEHD-fmk. [3] Phenylephrine stimulates phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis, cell growth, and expression of several genes [e.g., atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)] often associated with cardiac hypertrophy. [4] Phenylephrine (1 礛) markedly potentiates HGF-induced hepatocyte DNA synthesis and proliferation. [5] Phenylephrine (10 mM) reversibly increases I(Ca,L) (51.3%; n = 40) and shifted peak I(Ca,L) activation voltage by -10 mV. Phenylephrine also increases local, subsarcolemmal SR Ca2+ release via IP3-dependent signaling. Phenylephrin-induced NOi release requires stimulation of both PI-3K/Akt and IP3-dependent Ca2+ signaling. Phenylephrine-induced NOi release is inhibited by each of 1 mM prazocin, 10 mM L-NIO, 10 mM W-7, 10 mM LY294002, 2 mM H-89, 10 mM ryanodine, 5 mM thapsigargin, 2 mM 2-APB or 10 mM xestospongin C.
