Xylazine HCl
Xylazine HCl is a strong agonist of α2-adrenoceptor [1].
Xylazine HCl has been reported to stimulate the proliferation of rat thymocytes in vivo (at doses of 2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg) and in vitro (at concentration of 5 mM) [2]. In the analgesic testing, Xylazine has shown a significant prolongation of the analgesic effects in the presence of naloxine in 40 and 50 mins. In addition, Xylazine has also shown the inhibitory effect in the mouse vas deferens bioassay with the IC50 value of 18nM. Furthermore, Xylazine has displayed a potent specific [3H]-dihydromorphine binding inhibition with the IC50 value of 8μM in opiate receptor binding test [1].
