Product Description

Doxazosin mesylate (formerly UK-33274; UK 33274; trade names Cardura), the mesylate salt of Doxazosin which is a quinazoline-derivative, is a potent and selective antagonist of postsynaptic α1-adrenergic receptors (so called alpha-blockers) with anti-hypertensive effects. It can be used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia-related high blood pressure and urinary retention. By blocking the binding of norepinephrine to the α-1 receptors on the membrane of vascular smooth muscle cells, doxazosin prevents the release of norepinephrine from sympathetic nerve terminals. The therapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia may be partially attributed to doxazosin's strong affinity for the alpha-1c adrenoceptor, which is the primary functional type in the prostate.

α1-adrenergic receptor
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Doxazosin-induced apoptosis is inhibited by particular caspase-8 inhibitors, indicating that caspase-8 functions as a functional mediator of doxazosin-induced apoptosis. Doxazosin causes an increase in FADD recruitment and caspase-8 activation, which suggests that the mechanism behind Doxazosin's action on prostate cells is Fas-mediated apoptosis.[1] The average reduction in plasma total, LDL plus VLDL, and total triglyceride levels is 46%, 61%, and 45%, respectively, for doxazosin and cholestyramine.[2] In the HL-1 cell line, doxazosin causes DNA damage and cell death. In primary cultures of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, doxazosin treatment reduces cell viability; in primary cultures of adult human cardiomyocytes, doxazosin-induced apoptosis is shown by Hoechst dye vital staining.[3] Doxazosin inhibits cell migration and impedes cell adhesion to surfaces coated with collagen and fibronectin, potentially through downregulating VEGF expression, thereby counteracting the VEGF-mediated angiogenic response of HUVEC cells.[4]

ln Vivo
Doxazosin additionally lowers mean arterial pressure in hamsters by 18% without changing heart rate.[2] Doxazosin significantly lowers the wet weight of mouse prostate reconstitution (MPR) infected with BabeTGF-beta 1.[5]

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
