Adrenochrome has been used to study the effect of adrenochrome on coronary artery constriction in the rat heart.[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Adrenochrome is an oxidation product of adrenaline.[2] It has been implicated in cardiotoxicity.[3][4] It is a short-lived cytotoxic molecule and is part of the leukocyte response used to kill bacteria.[5] Adrenochrome is also suggested to exhibit psychotomimetic effects.[6] It is used to determine superoxide dismutase activity.[7]
