Dopamine hydrochloride(Cat No.:A000771)is a water-soluble salt of dopamine with the molecular formula C8H12ClNO2, used medically as a vasopressor and inotropic agent. It functions by stimulating dopaminergic and adrenergic receptors, depending on the dose—low doses enhance renal perfusion via dopamine receptors, moderate doses increase cardiac output via β1-adrenergic stimulation, and high doses cause vasoconstriction through α-adrenergic activation. Administered intravenously, it is used to treat shock, heart failure, and hypotension. Dopamine HCl has a rapid onset and short duration of action, requiring close monitoring for side effects like arrhythmias and hypertension.
