          Background

          Phenylephrine HCl is a selective agonist of α1-adrenergic receptor [1].
          α1-adrenergic receptors are one of the three main families of adrenergic receptors regulating the actions of norepinephrine and epinephrine [1].
          Phenylephrine exhibits significant selectivity for α1-adrenergic receptors subtypes. When tested with hamster α1B-AR, bovine α1C-AR , and rat αA/D-AR, Phenylephrine showed inhibition of I-BE binding with pKi values of 4.87, 4.70 and 5.86 for α1B, α1C and αA/D receptors respectively and intrinsic activities of activating cloned α1-adrenergic receptors subtypes with pEC50 values of 6.47, 6.77 and 7.01 for α1B, α1C and αA/D receptors respectively [1].
          In high tidal volume ventilated rats, although 1×10-9 mol/L phenylephrine did not raise alveolar fluid clearance, alveolar space injection of phenylephrine at different concentrations of 1×10-5, 1×10-6, 1×10-7 and 1×10-8 increased the alveolar fluid clearance and promoted the absorption of pulmonary edema in a dose-dependent manner. [2].
