| Name | Doxazosin |
| Description | Doxazosin (UK 33274) is a long-acting α1-adrenoceptor inhibitor widely used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptoms. |
| In vitro | Doxazosin, at concentrations of 5-20 mumol/L, increased LDL binding to hepatic cells in a dose-related manner. Also, in these hepatic cells, doxazosin produced dose-related decreases in both newly synthesized cholesterol and cholesterol ester. In rabbit fibroblasts that were LDL receptor negative, de novo cholesterol synthesis was markedly reduced by increasing concentrations of doxazosin. Taken together, these results suggest that doxazosin may have a direct inhibitory effect on cholesterol synthesis independent of the LDL receptor[2]. |
| In vivo | Both the enantiomers were highly bound to the plasma proteins of rats, dogs and humans [(-)doxazosin: 89.4%-94.3%; (+)doxazosin: 90.9%-95.4%]. (+)Doxazosin exhibited significantly higher protein binding capacities than (-)doxazosin in all the three species, and the difference in the bound concentration (Cb) between the two enantiomers was enhanced as their concentrations were increased. Although the percentage of the plasma protein binding in the dog plasma was significantly lower than that in the human plasma at 400 and 800 ng/mL, the corrected percentage of plasma protein binding was dog>human>rat[3]. |
