Guanfacine is an orally active noradrenergic α2A agonist and has high selective for the α2A receptor subtype. Guanfacine has effects in producing hypotension and sedation. Guanfacine can be used for the research of a variety of prefrontal cortex (PFC) cognitive disorders, including tourette's syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

At equivalent molar concentrations, both the salt and free forms of a compound exhibit comparable biological activity. Nevertheless, the salt form (Guanfacine hydrochloride) usually boasts enhanced water solubility and stability.

Description

Guanfacine is an orally active noradrenergic α2A agonist and has high selective for the α2A receptor subtype. Guanfacine has effects in producing hypotension and sedation. Guanfacine can be used for the research of a variety of prefrontal cortex (PFC) cognitive disorders, including tourette's syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Guanfacine increases the delay-related neuronal firing needed for working memory on dIPFC neurons at the cellular level[1][3].
Guanfacine improves PFC cognitive function by inhibiting the production of CAMP, closing HCN channels, and strengthening the PFC networks[1][3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Guanfacine Related Antibodies
In Vivo

Guanfacine enhances PFC working memory function in aged monkeys and improves impulse control in monkeys performing a delayed discounting task[1][3].
Guanfacine improves cognitive performance when infused directly into the rat or monkey PFC[1][3].
Guanfacine blocks 2A receptors in the monkey dIPFC markedly impairs working memory, behavioral inhibition and greatly reduces persistent neuronal firing[1][3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
