Application

Oxymetazoline hydrochloride may be used as a pharmaceutical secondary standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations using spectrophotometric technique.

These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Oxymetazoline hydrochloride is a partial α_2A-adrenoceptor agonist; agonist at 5-HT_1A, 5-HT_1B, and 5-HT_1D serotonin receptors. It is a mixed agonist-antagonist at 5-HT_1C serotonin receptors.
