      Key Mechanism Factor 2
Factor Name Adrenergic receptor alpha-2 Structure Sequence
Protein Family G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
Protein Function
Alpha-2 adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine-induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. The rank order of potency for agonists of this receptor is oxymetazoline > clonidine > epinephrine > norepinephrine > phenylephrine > dopamine > p-synephrine > p-tyramine > serotonin = p-octopamine. For antagonists, the rank order is yohimbine > phentolamine = mianserine > chlorpromazine = spiperone = prazosin > propanolol > alprenolol = pindolol.

      Mechanism Description
  • Additive hypotensive effects by the combination of Fenoldopam and Lofexidine 

Recommended Action
      Management Hemodynamic responses should be monitored during coadministration of lofexidine with antihypertensive agents, especially during the first few weeks of therapy.
