(R)-Terazosin is an active R-enantiomer of Terazosin. (R)-Terazosin is a potent α1-adrenoceptor antagonist with Ki values of 6.51 nM, 1.01 nM and 1.97 nM for α1a, α1b and α1d-adrenoceptor, respectively.
(R)-Terazosin is low affinity for α2a, α2B and α2c-adrenoceptor with Ki values of 3.85 μM, 0.33 μM and 0.37 μM, respectively.
(R)-Terazosin may prove to be a useful probe in understanding the functional role of subtypes of adrenoceptors in various tissues. Because it is a weaker antagonist at α2B sites than its enantiomer, it may be possible to use (R)-Terazosin to differentiate between pharmacological effects mediated by subtypes of α2-adrenoceptors in animal studies.
