(±)-Epinephrine (hydrochloride) is an adrenergic receptor agonist that, at low doses, primarily activates β receptors to enhance bronchodilation and cardiac activity, while at high doses (±)-Epinephrine (hydrochloride) binds to α receptors, inducing vasoconstriction and increasing vascular tension[1].
In vitro, (±)-Epinephrine (hydrochloride) (100μM; 4h) stimulates the secretion of phosphatidylcholine (PC) from type II cells of embryonic chickens at all stages[2]. (±)-Epinephrine (hydrochloride) (55-550μM; 3 days) inhibited the growth of trabecular meshwork cells in a dose-dependent manner[3].
In vivo, (±)-Epinephrine (hydrochloride) (1mg/kg/5μl; 0.5-60min) prolonged the localization of lidocaine applied to the mucosa and inhibited its absorption into the bloodstream of rats[4]. Low and medium doses of (±)-Epinephrine (hydrochloride) (0.04, 0.2 and 0.4mg/kg; 10min; i.v.) were more optimal for CPR in a rat asphyxial cardiac arrest model[5].

(±)-Epinephrine (hydrochloride)是一种肾上腺素能受体激动剂,在低剂量时,主要激活β受体,增强支气管扩张和心脏活动;而在高剂量时,(±)-Epinephrine (hydrochloride)会与α受体结合,引起血管收缩并增加血管张力[1]。
在体外实验中,(±)-Epinephrine (hydrochloride)(100μM; 4小时)可刺激胚胎鸡II型细胞在所有阶段分泌磷脂酰胆碱(PC)[2]。(±)-Epinephrine (hydrochloride)(55-550μM; 3天)以剂量依赖性方式抑制小梁网细胞的生长[3]。
在体内实验中,(±)-Epinephrine (hydrochloride)(1mg/kg/5μl; 0.5-60分钟)延长了应用于大鼠黏膜的利多卡因的定位时间,并抑制其吸收进入血液循环[4]。在大鼠窒息性心脏骤停模型中,低剂量和中等剂量的(±)-Epinephrine (hydrochloride)(0.04, 0.2和0.4mg/kg; 10分钟; 静脉注射)更适合心肺复苏(CPR)[5]。
