Dobutamine hydrochloride
Dobutamine hydrochloride (CAS: 49745-95-1), with the molecular formula C18H23NO3 · HCl and a molecular weight of 337.84, is a synthetic catecholamine analogue. It functions as a direct-acting adrenergic agonist, primarily stimulating beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptors. This action leads to increased cardiac output and contractility with minimal effects on heart rate, making it valuable in specific cardiovascular applications.
