Guanabenz

Biological Activity

[Description]:

(E)-Guanabenz ((E)-Wy-8678) is an orally active central α2-adrenoceptor agonist. (E)-Guanabenz has antihypertensive activity, acts via stimulating central α2-adrenoceptors, and reducing net sympathetic outflow into the periphery. (E)-Guanabenz also directly binds to and inhibits GADD34, and has neuroprotective activity. (E)-Guanabenz can be used for researching hypertension and Parkinson disease[1][2].
