Bioactivity | Doxazosin hydrochloride (UK 33274 hydrochloride) is a compound used to inhibit hypertension and prostate hyperplasia, with activity that inhibits postsynaptic α1-adrenoceptors on vascular smooth muscle. Doxazosin hydrochloride can cause vasodilation, thereby reducing peripheral vascular resistance. Doxazosin hydrochloride was found to inhibit the proliferation and migration of hepatic stellate cells in a mouse liver fibrosis model. Doxazosin hydrochloride regulates fibrosis, autophagy, and apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells by activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Doxazosin hydrochloride also blocks autophagic flux and induces apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells[1]. |
