Prazosin-d8 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of prazosin (Item No. 15023) by GC- or LC-MS. Prazosin is an antagonist of ?1-adrenergic receptors (?1-ARs).{22637,22636} It selectively binds to ?1-ARs with Ki values of 0.2, 0.25, and 0.32 nM for the human recombinant ?1A-, ?1B-, and ?1D-ARs, respectively, over ?2-ARs (Kis = 340 and 3.7 nM in ?2A-AR-expressing HT-29 cells and ?2B-AR-expressing NG108 cells, respectively).{29094,46466} It also binds to melatonin receptor 3 (MT3) in hamster brain membranes (IC50 = 7.8 nM).{22638} Prazosin inhibits peripheral and central postsynaptic ?1-ARs with IC50 values of 0.2 and 1.7 nM in isolated dog aorta and rat brain, respectively.{22637} It decreases diastolic blood pressure in normal, renal hypertensive, and spontaneously hypertensive rats when administered at a dose of 1 mg/kg.{46467} Prazosin (1.5 mg/kg) increases the number of entries and percentage of time spent in the open arms of the elevated plus maze, indicating anxiolytic-like activity, in alcohol-consuming rats and also reduces alcohol intake and alcohol-seeking behavior in alcohol-preferring rats.{46468,46469}
