Gene Information

Application

Idazoxan hydrochloride has been used to study the efficacy of antidepressant treatments that interact with multiple neurotransmitter systems.

Biochem/physiol Actions

α2-adrenoceptor antagonist; I2 imidazoline receptor agonist; I1 imidazoline receptor antagonist. Idazoxan can antagonize various behaviors generated by ethanol in a preclinical setting. It possesses neuroprotective activity against spinal cord injury, resulted due to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mouse, an animal modal of multiple sclerosis (MS).

Antidepressants are often used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Clinical studies suggest that the efficacy of serotonin (5-HT) and noradrenaline (NA) reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) for neuropathic pain is greater than that of selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). In the

Inhibitory interneurons across diverse brain regions commonly exhibit spontaneous spiking activity, even in the absence of external stimuli. It is not well understood how stimulus-evoked inhibition can be distinguished from background inhibition arising from spontaneous firing. We found that noradrenaline

Aim of the present study was to obtain novel α(2)-adrenoreceptor (α(2)-AR) antagonists, possibly endowed with subtype-selectivity. Therefore, inspired by the non subtype-selective α(2)-AR antagonist idazoxan, we designed 1,4-dioxane derivatives bearing an aromatic area in position 5 or 6 and the

We previously demonstrated that a single injection of diluted bee venom (DBV) temporarily alleviates thermal hyperalgesia, but not mechanical allodynia, in neuropathic rats. The present study was designed to determine whether repetitive injection of DBV produces more potent analgesic effects
