doxazosin and Cirrhosis

doxazosin has been researched along with Cirrhosis in 4 studies

Doxazosin: A prazosin-related compound that is a selective alpha-1-adrenergic blocker.
doxazosin : A member of the class of quinazolines that is quinazoline substituted by an amino group at position 4, methoxy groups at positions 6 and 7 and a piperazin-1-yl group at position 2 which in turn is substituted by a 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-ylcarbonyl group at position 4. An antihypertensive agent, it is used in the treatment of high blood pressure.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To gain new insights into the molecular mechanisms of action of doxazosin, we investigated the prostatic stroma ultrastructure and the expression of genes involved with fibrosis, such as collagen type I and III (COL1A1 and COL3A1, respectively) and TGF-beta 1, in the rat ventral prostate."7.78Fibrosis-related gene expression in the prostate is modulated by doxazosin treatment. ( Almeida, FL; Delella, FK; Felisbino, SL; Lacorte, LM; Pai, MD, 2012)
"Medications targeting androgen receptor activity (eg finasteride) or smooth muscle contractility (eg doxazosin) do not resolve lower urinary tract symptoms indicative of lower urinary tract dysfunction in an important subgroup of men."5.30Prostate Transition Zone Fibrosis is Associated with Clinical Progression in the MTOPS Study. ( Leverson, GE; Macoska, JA; McVary, KT; Ricke, WA; Uchtmann, KS, 2019)
