Naphazoline hydrochloride is a potent α-adrenergic receptor agonist. It reduces vascular hyperpermeability and promotes vasoconstriction. This compound also decreases the levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6), cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-4), IgE, GMCSF, and NGF. It is used in research for non-bacterial conjunctivitis.
