Saline
30.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 30 mg of this product to 1 ml of physiological saline (0.9% NaCL solution), mix evenly to make it clear, 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 Medetomidine is a selective α2-adrenoceptor agonist, with Ki of 1.08 nM, exhibts 1620-fold selectivity over α1-adrenoceptor.
Targets
α2-adrenoceptor [1]
1.08 nM(Ki)
In vitro Medetomidine is a selectiveα2-adrenoceptor agonist, with Ki of 1.08 nM, exhibits 1620-fold selectivity over α1-adrenoceptor, has very weak or no binding to other neurotransmitter receptors. [1]
In vivo In anesthetized rats, medetomidine (1-100 μg/kg, i.v.) induces a dose-dependent, relatively short-lived reduction in blood pressure and heart rate. In the pithed rat, medetomidine shows very potent vasopressor (PD50 1.7 μg/kg) and sympatho-inhibitory (ID50 1.6 μg/kg) effects without affecting basal heart rate. [2] Medetomidine induces dose-dependent sedation, which at high doses (>100μg/kg) includes loss of the righting reflex and hypothermia. Medetomidine induces a decreases in the turnover rate of biogenic amines in the brain, dose-dependently inhibits norepinephrine (NE) turnover, inhibits brain dopamine turnover at high doses, decreases serotonin turnover.
