Cirazoline is a nonselective agonist of the alpha-1 adrenergic receptor (α1-AR), and an antagonist to the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor[1]. It is believed that this combination of properties could make cirazoline an effective vasoconstricting agent[1].
Cirazoline has also been shown to decrease food intake in rats, purportedly through activation of alpha 1-adrenoceptors in the paraventricular nucleus in the hypothalamus of the brain[2].
