Medetomidine is an imidazole derivative that acts as a selective agonist of ?2-adrenoceptors (Ki = 1.08 nM vs. 1750 nM for ?1-adrenoceptors).{26978,25422} Medetomidine is a mixture of D and L isomers, with the D form, known as dexmedetomidine (Item No. 15581), described as the active form. Through its effect on ?2-adrenoceptors, medetomidine has sedative, antinociceptive, analgesic, and hypothermic actions.{26974,26980} Its effects on pain are additive or synergistic with fentanyl-type opioids.{26977,26976} The effects of medetomidine are effectively countered by ?2-adrenoceptor antagonists, like atipamezole.{26979} Selective ?2-adrenoceptor agonists, including medetomidine, have anesthetic sparing properties, greatly reducing the dose of anesthetic required following premedication with the ?2-adrenoceptor agonist.{26980}
