Etamicastat HCl

    WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

MedKoo CAT#: 319707

CAS#: 677773-32-9 (HCl)

Description: Etamicastat, also known as BIA 5-453, is a potent, reversible, peripherally selective dopamine β-hydroxylase inhibitor (DBH inhibitor). Chronic dopamine ß-hydroxylase inhibition with etamicastat effectively decreases blood pressure, although does not prevent the development of hypertension in the spontaneously hypertensive rat.
