Adrenalone HCl (Adrenalonium chloratum, Adrenone, Epinephrine ketone, Kephrine, Stryphnonasal), the hydrochloride salt of adrenalone, is a potent adrenergic agonist used as a topical vasoconstrictor and hemostatic. Adrenalone primarily acts on alpha-1 adrenergic receptors and blocks dopamine β oxidase, which prevents dopamine from being converted to norepinephrine. The only structural difference between adrenaline and epinine is that the former has a ketone group in the β position. All OH radicals have been scavenged since the reduction of adrenalone (0.1 mM) by hydrated electrons in nitrogenated aqueous solutions containing either 10 or 100 mM tert-butyl alcohol produces identical transient spectra.

α1-adrenergic receptor
α1-adrenergic receptor (Ki = 0.5 μM) [3] - α2-adrenergic receptor (Ki = 2.3 μM) [3] - β1-adrenergic receptor (weak agonist, EC50 = 15 μM) [1] |

In vitro activity: Adrenalone (12 μM) blocks dopamine β oxidase, which prevents dopamine from being converted to norepinephrine. The only structural difference between adrenaline and epinine is that the former has a ketone group in the β position.[1] All OH radicals have been scavenged since the reduction of adrenalone (0.1 mM) by hydrated electrons in nitrogenated aqueous solutions containing either 10 or 100 mM tert-butyl alcohol produces identical transient spectra. Adrenaline's reduction state makes it behave like a carbonyl compound, but its catechol functional group largely controls oxidation reactions.[2] Adrenalone is the keton form of the natural substrate epinephrine, and it functions as a topical nasal decongestant, hemostatic, and vasoconstrictor. Adrenalone has three groups: an amine group that forms an ionic bond with Asp75, a hydroxyl group that forms a hydrogen bond with Ala145, and an aromatic ring that interacts hydrophobically with Phe72, Tyr152, and Phe317. At 10 μM (100 μM), adrenaline decreases substrate uptake to 99% (27%).[3]
Incubation of isolated rabbit iris dilator muscle with Adrenalone HCl (1-100 μM) induced dose-dependent contraction, with maximum contraction (85% of norepinephrine-induced response) at 50 μM, mediated via α1-adrenergic receptor activation [4] - Adrenalone HCl (10 μM) enhanced [³H]norepinephrine release from rat brain synaptosomes by 30%, via presynaptic α2-adrenergic receptor antagonism [3] - In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), Adrenalone HCl (20 μM) increased nitric oxide (NO) production by 45% through β1-adrenergic receptor-mediated eNOS phosphorylation [3] - Spectroscopic analysis showed that Adrenalone HCl (0.1-1 mM) binds to bovine serum albumin (BSA) with a binding constant (Ka) of 2.1×10⁴ M⁻¹, forming a 1:1 complex [2] |
| ln Vivo |
Adrenalone (0.05%) applied topically to rabbits' eyes at 30-minute intervals causes concentrations in the iris-ciliary body, cornea, and aqueous humor to be 7.75 mg/kg, 0.87 mg/kg, and 2.51 mg/kg, respectively.[4]
Intravenous injection of Adrenalone HCl (0.5 mg/kg) to anesthetized cats increased systolic blood pressure by 40 mmHg and heart rate by 35 bpm within 5 minutes, with the effect lasting for 30 minutes, mediated by α1 and weak β1-adrenergic receptor activation [1] - Topical application of Adrenalone HCl (2% solution) to rabbit eyes produced mydriasis (pupil diameter increased by 60%) within 20 minutes, lasting for 4 hours, without significant effect on intraocular pressure [4] - Subcutaneous administration of Adrenalone HCl (1 mg/kg) to mice reduced tail bleeding time by 55% compared to control, via α1-adrenergic receptor-mediated vasoconstriction [3] |
| Enzyme Assay |
α/β-adrenergic receptor binding assay: Membrane fractions from rat brain (α receptors) and cardiomyocytes (β1 receptor) were prepared. Adrenalone HCl (0.01-100 μM) was incubated with membranes and [³H]prazosin (α1), [³H]clonidine (α2), or [³H]dihydroalprenolol (β1) at 25°C for 60 minutes. Unbound ligand was removed by filtration, and bound radioactivity was quantified. Ki/EC50 values were calculated via competitive binding or dose-response analysis [3]
- BSA binding assay: Adrenalone HCl (0.1-1 mM) was mixed with BSA (10 μM) in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4). The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes, and binding was analyzed by UV-visible spectroscopy. Binding constant was derived from Scatchard plots [2] |
| Cell Assay |
Iris dilator muscle contraction assay: Isolated rabbit iris dilator muscle strips were mounted in organ baths containing oxygenated Krebs-Ringer solution. Adrenalone HCl (1-100 μM) was added, and muscle tension was recorded continuously. Contraction amplitude was normalized to norepinephrine (10 μM)-induced maximum response [4]
- HUVEC NO production assay: HUVECs were seeded in 24-well plates and cultured to confluence. Cells were treated with Adrenalone HCl (5-50 μM) for 24 hours. NO concentration in culture supernatants was measured by Griess reagent assay, and eNOS phosphorylation was detected by Western blot [3] |
| Animal Protocol |
7.75 mg/kg, 0.87 mg/kg and 2.51 mg/kg; administrated topically
Rabbits Anesthetized cats (n=5) received intravenous injection of Adrenalone HCl (0.5 mg/kg) dissolved in 0.9% saline. Systolic blood pressure and heart rate were measured via carotid artery catheter at 1-minute intervals for 40 minutes [1] - Adult New Zealand white rabbits (n=6) were randomly assigned to treatment or control groups. Adrenalone HCl (2% solution, 0.1 mL) was topically applied to the right eye, and 0.9% saline to the left eye. Pupil diameter and intraocular pressure were measured at 10-minute intervals for 5 hours [4] - Male ICR mice (8 weeks old) received subcutaneous injection of Adrenalone HCl (1 mg/kg) dissolved in distilled water. Tail bleeding time was measured 30 minutes post-administration by transecting the tail tip and recording time to cessation of bleeding [3] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Following local or subcutaneous injection, adrenaline (hydrochloride) is rapidly absorbed, reaching peak tissue concentrations within 20-30 minutes [3,4]. In rabbit eyes, local ocular injection of 2% adrenaline (hydrochloride) resulted in minimal systemic absorption (plasma concentration <0.1 ng/mL at 1 hour) [4]. The drug is metabolized in the liver by catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), with a terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) of 1.2 hours in rats [3].
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The LD50 of acute intravenous epinephrine in mice was 25 mg/kg [1]. When epinephrine (2%) was applied topically to the eyes of rabbits, mild conjunctival hyperemia occurred in 17% of the animals, which subsided within 24 hours [4]. Epinephrine has a plasma protein binding rate of 45% in human plasma, mainly binding to albumin [2].

| Additional Infomation |
Adrenalone hydrochloride is a synthetic catecholamine with mixed α-adrenergic agonist and weak β1-adrenergic agonist activity[1]. Clinically, it is used as a local hemostatic agent (for minor bleeding) and an ophthalmic mydriatic (for dilating pupils during ophthalmic examinations)[3,4]. The drug exerts a vasoconstrictive effect by activating α1-adrenergic receptors, reducing blood flow at the site of administration to achieve hemostasis[3]. Its weak β1-adrenergic activity can cause mild cardiac excitation (increased heart rate and increased blood pressure) when administered systemically[1].
