Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Xylazine is soluble in methanol (50 mg/ml), yielding a clear, colorless solution. It is also soluble in dilute HCl acid and in chloroform. Xylazine is practically insoluble in water and in alkali solutions._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Xylazine has been used to anaesthetise experimental animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Xylazine when used along with ketamine is considered to be a potent and safe anaesthetic in experimental animal. It is known to elevate the hepatic release of glucose, which aggravates to hyperglycemia._x000D_ α2-adrenoceptor agonist, sedative, muscle relaxant._x000D_ Other Notes_x000D_ Tandem Mass Spectrometry data independently generated by Scripps Center for Metabolomics is available to view or download in PDF.
