Guanfacine-13C,15N3 is intended for us as an internal standard for the quantification of guanfacine (Item No. 22907) by GC- or LC-MS. Guanfacine is an α2-adrenergic receptor (α2-AR) agonist with Ki values of 93, 1,380, and 3,890 nM for α2A-, α2B-, and α2C-ARs, respectively, in a radioligand binding assay.1 It has EC50 values of 52, 288, and 602 nM for α2A-, α2B-, and α2C-ARs, respectively, for stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding. It also binds to imidazoline receptor 1 (Ki = 19 nM in a radioligand binding assay).2 Guanfacine (0.3-5 mg/kg) binds to adrenergic receptors in the central nervous system and lowers blood pressure in hypertensive rats in a dose-dependent manner.3 It also improves spatial working memory deficits induced by hypobaric hypoxia in rats.4 Formulations containing guanfacine are used in the treatment of high blood pressure and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
