Background:

Fiduxosin is a potent α1-adrenoceptor antagonist, with Ki of 0.160 nM, 24.9 nM, and 0.920 nM for α1a-, α1b-, and α1d-adrenoceptors, respectively.

Fiduxosin displays low affinity for other adrenoceptors, including cloned human α2a- (92 nM) and α2c-adrenoceptors (22 nM) and rat neonatal lung α2b-adrenoceptors (21 nM), in addition to β-adrenoceptors (2-5 μM). Fiduxosin also has low affinity for 5HT1A receptors in rat cortex (29 nM) compared with its affinity at α1a-adrenoceptors (0.16 nM). Fiduxosin antagonizes competitively PE-induced responses with a pA2 value of 7.58, in the rabbit urethra[1].

Fiduxosin (30, 100, and 300 μg/kg, i.v.) antagonizes IUP responses to i.v. EPI in anesthetized dogs. Fiduxosin (178, 592, and 1780 μg/kg, i.v.) elicits transient effects on blood pressure, with no effect of the lowest dose on MAP in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Fiduxosin (3 μmol/kg or 1780 μg/kg i.v.) slightly reduces MAP, but head-up tilt causes further diminution of MAP at only the 15-min observation with minimal additional changes in MAP at times ≥30 min postdosing in SHR[1]. Fiduxosin (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 mg/kg p.o.) blocks prostatic intraurethral pressure (IUP) responses to a greater extent than MAP responses. The IUP ED50 values of fiduxosin is 0.24 mg/kg[2].
