    Product Description

    B-HT 933 is an agonist of α2-adrenergic receptors (α2-ARs) with an EC50 value of 0.65 μM for contraction of canine sapheneous veins.1 It induces concentration-dependent inhibition of the twitch response in rat vas deferens and guinea pig ileum.2 B-HT 933 induces sedation and reduces motor activity in mice, an effect that is reversed by the α2-AR antagonist yohimbine (Item No. 19869).3 B-HT 933 decreases blood pressure and cardiac output in cats injected with 30 μg/kg intracisternally.4 It also exhibits antinociceptive effects in mice with ED50 values of 12.5, 20.5, and 6.1 mg/kg for the tail-immersion, tail-pinch, and acetic acid writhing tests, respectively.5

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
