Product Information

• Name: Rauwolscine hydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Rauwolscine hydrochloride is a synthetic compound that functions as an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonist. It is derived from the indole alkaloid rauwolscine, which is naturally found in the bark of Rauwolfia and other related plant species. By inhibiting alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, rauwolscine hydrochloride increases the availability of norepinephrine, thus enhancing the adrenergic signaling pathways. This action results in increased lipolysis and metabolic rate, distinguishing it as a valuable tool in the study of adrenergic receptor functions.
