In Vitro
[3H]Rauwolscine binding to α2 adrenergic receptor is reversible, stcreospccific, and saturable. [3H]Rauwolscine specifically labels both the high and low affinity states of the α2 adrenergic receptor in brain membranes. [3H]Rauwolscine also behaves as a 5-HT1A receptor agonist and this conclusion is compatible with earlier functional studies, indicating that rauwolscine (as well as yohimbine) has agonistic properties at the level of 5-HT autoreceptors.
