Phenylephrine HCl is a selective α1-adrenergic receptor agonist[1]. Phenylephrine HCl is commonly used to treat symptoms such as hypotension and nasal congestion[2]. Phenylephrine HCl can induce cardiac hypertrophy[3].
In vitro, phenylephrine HCl (0.1, 1, 10μM) treated cardiac fibroblasts for 48h stimulated cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, upregulated calcineurin (CaN) levels, and caused nuclear factor of activated T cells 3 (NFAT3) nuclear translocation[4].
In vivo, phenylephrine HCl (0.001-10μM) was injected into the alveolar cavity to treat rats with high tidal volume (HVT) mechanical ventilation-induced lung injury, which increased the alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) of rats and accelerated the absorption of pulmonary edema[5].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) |
Preparation Method | Growth-arrested CFs were stimulated with various concentrations of Phenylephrine HCl (0.1, 1, 10μM) for 48h. Optical density with MTT labeling. |
Reaction Conditions | 0.1, 1, 10μM; 48h |
Applications | Phenylephrine HCl stimulates CFs proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Wistar rats |
Preparation Method | A total of 170 male Wistar rats are randomLy allocated into 17 groups (n=10) using random number tables. Short-term (40min) mechanical ventilation with high tidal volume is performed to induce lung injury, impair active Na+ transport and lung liquid clearance in the rats. Unventilated rats serves as controls. To demonstrate the effect of phenylephrine on alveolar fluid clearance, Phenylephrine HCl at different concentrations (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10μM) is injected into the alveolar space of the high tidal volume (HVT) ventilated rats. |
Dosage form | 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10μM; injected into the alveolar space |
Applications | Phenylephrine could increase the alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) in HVT-ventilated rats and accelerate the absorption of pulmonary edema. |
