Bioactivity | Phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride is a nonselective, irreversible, orally active α-adrenoceptor antagonist that is commonly used for the research of hypertension, specifically caused by pheochromocytoma. Phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride also shows antitumor activity[1][2]. |
Target | α-adrenoceptor |
Invitro | Phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride (0-100 μM; 96 h) markedly inhibits U251 and U87MG cells proliferation[2].Phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride (10 μM; 24 h or 72 h) inhibits migration and invasion of U251 and U87MG cells[2].Phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride (10 μM; 12 h) activates LINGO-1 and inhibits the TrkB-Akt pathway[2].Phenoxybenzamine (0.1 μM-1 mM; 0-16 h) prevents hippocampal cell death after oxygen glucose deprivation[3].
