Xylometazoline is an α-adrenergic receptor (α-AR) agonist that binds to α1A-, α1B-, α1D-, α2A-, α2B-, and α2C-ARs in a radioligand binding assay (IC50s = 0.08, 0.56, 0.45, 0.98, 1.8, and 0.22 μM, respectively).{51089} It increases intracellular calcium levels in HEK293 cells transfected with human α2B-ARs (EC50 = 99 μM) but not other α-ARs. Xylometazoline is also an agonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT1 (Kis = 0.7 and 14 nM for the human 5-HT1D and 5-HT1B receptors, respectively).{51090} It inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP production in CHO Pro 5 cells expressing human 5-HT1D and 5-HT1B receptors by 62 and 49%, respectively, when used at a concentration of 1 μM. Xylometazoline (0.25 μg/ml) induces contraction of isolated dog nasal mucosal blood vessels and reduces nasal patency in dogs when administered topically or intravenously.{51091}
