(R)-3-Nitrobiphenyline

(R)-3-Nitrobiphenyline is a drug. As an α₂-adrenergic agonist, it activates α₂ adrenergic receptors, which respond to the hormones adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine). It is selective for the α_2C subtype, as well as being a weak antagonist at the α_2A and α_2B subtypes. It has been used in scientific research to characterize the binding and functional properties of the α_2C subtype.^[1][2]
