Alfuzosin-d7 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of alfuzosin (Item No. 13648) by GC- or LC-MS. Alfuzosin is an antagonist of α1-adrenergic receptors (α1-ARs; Kis = 10, 10, and 3.16 nM for α1A-, α1B-, and α1D-ARs, respectively).1 It increases the amount of phenylephrine needed to increase urethral and arterial blood pressure in pithed rats when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg.2 Formulations containing alfuzosin have been used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
