Clonidine HCl (Catapres, Duraclon, Jenloga, Catapres-TTS, and Kapvay), the hydrochloride salt of clonidine, is a direct-acting α2 adrenergic agonist with antihypertensive effects. It activates α2 adrenergic with an ED50 of 0.02±0.01 mg/kg. Clonidine is a sympathomimetic medication that has been used to treat a variety of pain conditions, migraines, menopausal flushing, diarrhea, high blood pressure, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety disorders, and withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, or smoking. By activating brain α2-receptors, clonidine lowers blood pressure by reducing peripheral vascular resistance. This is how it treats high blood pressure.

ln Vitro |
Clonidine (0.01, 0.1 or 1 μM) significantly and dose-dependently increases the expression of CGRP (α and β) mRNA in endothelial cells. Endothelial cells treated with 1 μM clonidine for 24 hours exhibit a significant increase in NO production. Clonidine-induced CGRP production is modulated by the NO pathway[2].

ln Vivo |
Clonidine (50 μg/kg, i.p.) causes a three-hour period of significant rat body temperature reduction, peaking one hour after administration. Rats treated intracerebroventricularly with neutral doses of phentolamine 15 minutes prior to clonidine significantly counteract the hypothermia caused by clonidine[1]. PCP-induced dopamine efflux in the prefrontal cortex is potently suppressed by clonidine (0.003-0.05 mg/kg, i.p.). Clonidine cannot suppress PCP-induced dopamine overflow in the prefrontal cortex when the alpha-2A receptor antagonist BRL-44408 is administered beforehand[3]. Clonidine (0.6 μg i.c.) has no effect on blood pressure in SO rats that have been pretreated with DMSO. On the other hand, clonidine significantly (P < 0.05, one-way ANOVA) lowers blood pressure in SO rats following central adenosine A1R blockade (DPCPX). Contrarily, clonidine (0.6 μg i.c.) significantly lowers blood pressure in ABD rats that have received DMSO pretreatment; crucially, central A1R blockade (DPCPX pretreatment) has no effect on the clonidine-evoked drop in blood pressure in ABD rats (P > 0.05, one-way ANOVA). In SO rats pretreated with DPCPX, clonidine significantly (P < 0.05) raises the RVLM pERK1/2 level in comparison to either basal or clonidine treatment in SO rats pretreated with DMSO. This increase coincides with the onset of the hypotensive response. Clonidine significantly (P < 0.05) increases RVLM pERK1/2 in ABD rats pretreated with vehicle (DMSO), and this response is unaffected by DPCPX pretreatment[4].

Animal Protocol |
On the day of the experiment, two hours before the baseline sample collection starts, the flow rate is increased to 2 μL/min. Following the collection of four baseline samples, animals are pretreated with an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of either 0.9% saline (the vehicle), clonidine (0.0033, 0.01, or 0.05 mg/kg), or guanfacine (0.05 or 0.5 mg/kg). Twenty minutes later, the animals receive an injection of PCP (2.5 mg/kg, i.p.). Dialysates are collected every twenty minutes. BRL (1.0 mg/kg) is given 20 minutes before clonidine in a different study. Furthermore, in certain control studies, the animals are given a single injection of saline, clonidine (0.01 or 0.05 mg/kg), guanfacine (0.5 mg/kg), or BRL (1.0 mg/kg).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
