Product Description
Mechanism of action
Bretylium is an adrenergic neuronalblocking agent that initially releases norepinephrine from presynaptic terminals, followed by longlasting inhibition of catecholamine release. In cardiac tissue it prolongs action potential duration by blocking potassium channels, giving it class III antiarrhythmic properties.
Benefits and advantages
Used in electrophysiology research, arrhythmia models, sympatheticnerve function studies, potassiumchannel analysis and investigation of neuronalblocking mechanisms.
Side effects and risks
Risks include profound hypotension, dizziness, arrhythmias, GI upset and sympathetic blockade. Handle with cardiovascularactive compound precautions.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
