A series of phenoxyisoquinolines, N-phenoxyethyl-1-(2-nitrophenyl)-1,2,3,4-THIQs 3a-3d, N-phenoxyethyl-1-benzyl-1,2,3,4-THIQ 3e, N-phenoxyethyl-1-(2-aminophenyl)-1,2,3,4-THIQs 5f-5i, N-phenoxyethyl-1-(2-phenoxyethylaminophenyl)-1,2,3,4-THIQs 5f'-5i', have been synthesized and tested in isolated rat vas deferens alpha-adrenoreceptors. Comparison of pA2 values for these compounds in the presence of phenylephrine confirms that alpha(1)-adrenoceptor blocking activity of 3a-3d (-NO(2) series) is more active than 6a-6c (-NH(2) series) in the aortic rings isolated from SD rats. On the other hand, the electron-donating group at the 6-position of isoquinoline ring either increases or decreases the alpha(1)-adrenoceptor blocking activity.

We aim to assess the effect of Cavacurmin on prostate volume (PV), lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and micturition parameters in men after 1 year of therapy. From September 2020 to October 2021, data from 20 men with LUTS/benign prostatic hyperplasia and PV ≥40 mL who were on therapy with α1-adrenoceptor antagonists plus Cavacurmin were retrospectively compared with 20 men on only α1-adrenoceptor antagonists. Patients were evaluated at baseline and after 1 year using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), maximum urinary flow (Qmax) and PV.

Previous studies have indicated that α antagonist naftopidil (NAF) suppresses prostate growth by decreasing cell proliferation without affecting apoptosis and prostate volume in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A NAF-derived α1D/1A antagonist 1- benzyl-N-(3-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl) piperazine-1-yl) propyl)-1H-indole-2- carboxamide (HJZ-12) has been reported from our laboratory, which exhibits high subtype-selectivity to both α- and α- AR (47.9- and 19.

α-Adrenoceptor is implicated in numerous neuronal diseases. The development of new modulators targeting this receptor as well as the investigation of the role of α-adrenoceptor in healthy and disease conditions, however, is hindered by the lack of specific positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers. Iloperidone shows a high binding affinity to α-adrenoceptor and moderate selectivity over other brain receptors.

Hyperactivity of amygdala is observed in patients with major depressive disorder. Although the role of α1-adrenoceptor in amygdala on fear memory has been well studied, the role of α1-adrenoceptor in amygdala on depression-like behaviors remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effect of α1A-adrenoreceptor in amygdala on despair behavior, evaluated by the immobility time during tail suspension test (TST), pharmacological intervention, and immunohistological methods.
