behavioral pharmacology in rats.

Assay Type: In Vivo
Species: Rat
Behavioral neuropharmacology. Atimpamezole (0.1-1.0 mg/mL) was dissolved in 50-100% DMSO and was injected systemically in rats. Atipamezole is highly selective for the alpha2- noradrenergic receptor, and was used as a reference compound during behaviral testing.
This comes out of solution easily, even with sonicating. After fully dissolving in DMSO, add water slowly and continue to vortex or sonicate.
