Description

Medetomidine is an experimental drug that belongs to the group of solubility data. It is a highly selective α-2 adrenergic agonist that has been used in experimental studies to study the central and peripheral effects of the drug. Medetomidine has been shown to induce natriuretic peptide levels and intracellular calcium levels in anesthetized animals. This drug also affects locomotor activity and enzyme activities, which may be due to its ability to increase corticosterone levels. The dexmedetomidine-medetomidine combination was found to produce sedation with minimal cardiovascular effects. The model system used for this study consisted of sedated rats receiving a single intravenous injection of medetomidine or dexmedetomidine alone or in combination with medetomidine.
Medetomidine is soluble in water and methanol, but insoluble in ethanol and ether.
