Relationships

NOTE: predicates are annotated in Biolink Model (v1.3.0)

Subject Predicate Object
Phenylpropanolamine INCREASES ACTIVITY OF Alpha-1A Adrenergic Receptor
Alpha-1A Adrenergic Receptor POSITIVELY REGULATES Vasoconstriction
Vasoconstriction NEGATIVELY CORRELATED WITH Mucus Secretion
Mucus Secretion POSITIVELY CORRELATED WITH Cough

Comment: Phenylpropanolamine is a sympathomimetic that was previously used in nasal decongestants and weight loss products, but has been withdrawn by the FDA due to safety risks and lack of efficacy.
