Fenoldopam mesylate
Fenoldopam mesylate - the mesylate salt form of fenoldopam, a benzazepine derivative with rapid acting vasodilator activity. Fenoldopam mesylate is a racemic mixture of s and r isomers; the latter is responsible for the biological activity and has a significantly higher affinity for dopamine d1 like receptors (d1 and d5) as well as moderate affinity to alpha 2 adrenergic receptors. This agent selectively activates the dopamine d1 like receptor, thereby causing vasodilatation and increasing renal perfusion.
