Levomedetomidine hydrochloride（Cat No.:E000026）is the pharmacologically active enantiomer of medetomidine, a selective α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, presented as its hydrochloride salt for enhanced stability and solubility. It exhibits potent sedative, analgesic, and anxiolytic properties, primarily used in veterinary medicine and studied for potential human therapeutic applications. By activating central α2 receptors, it reduces norepinephrine release, leading to sedation and decreased sympathetic activity. Its stereoselective action offers higher specificity with fewer side effects compared to racemic mixtures. Levomedetomidine is also explored in neuroprotection, anesthesia adjuncts, and pain management protocols.
