| Description | Xylometazoline Hydrochloride is an α-adrenoceptor agonist commonly used as nasal decongestant.Target: α-AdrenoceptorXylometazoline is a nasal decongestant spray that constricts nasal blood vessels and increases nasal airflow, enabling patients with a blocked nose to breathe more easily. Xylometazoline is an effective and well-tolerated decongestant nasal spray that significantly relieved nasal congestion compared with placebo in the common cold and provided long-lasting relief with just 1 spray, helping patients to breathe more easily for a longer period of time [1]. Xylometazoline exhibited in radioligand competition studies higher affinities than the catecholamines adrenaline and noradrenaline at most α-adrenoceptor subtypes. Xylometazoline behaved at α(2B) -adrenoceptors as full agonists [2]. |
