Bioactivity | Dobutamine hydrochloride is a synthetic catecholamine that acts on α1-AR, β1-AR, β2-AR (α-1, β-1 andβ-2 adrenoceptors). Dobutamine hydrochloride is a selective β1-AR agonist, relatively weak activity at α1-AR and β2-AR. Dobutamine hydrochloride can increase cardiac output and correct hypoperfusion[1][2][3][4]. |
In Vivo | Dobutamine hydrochloride has a rapid onset of action and a short half-life [2].Dobutamine hydrochloride (0.15-20 mg/kg; i.p.) results in subsequent increase in the left ventricular function and heart rate acceleration with an increasing dose in wildtype mice[3].Dobutamine hydrochloride results in significant inotropic, lusitropic, and chronotropic cardiac response with a high dose in wildtype mice[3].Low doses of Dobutamine hydrochloride significantly increases inotropic and lusitropic cardiac performance without chronotropic changes in the Tgαq*44 mice[3].Dobutamine hydrochloride increases heart rate only after high doses, but then inotropic and lusitropic cardiac functional reserve is lost[3].Dobutamine hydrochloride increases alveolar liquid clearance in ventilated rats by beta-2 receptor stimulation[4].
