o-Xylene
1,2-dimethylbenzene, also known as 2-xylene or ortho-xylene, is a member of the class of compounds known as O-xylenes. O-xylenes are aromatic compounds that contain a o-xylene moiety, which is a monocyclic benzene carrying exactly two methyl groups at the 1- and 2-positions. 1,2-dimethylbenzene is a geranium tasting compound found in black walnut and papaya, which makes 1,2-dimethylbenzene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 1,2-dimethylbenzene can be found primarily in blood, feces, and saliva. 1,2-dimethylbenzene exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. 1,2-dimethylbenzene is formally rated as an unfounded non-carcinogenic (IARC 3) potentially toxic compound. o-Xylene (ortho-xylene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C6H4(CH3)2. with two methyl substituents bonded to adjacent carbon atoms of a benzene ring (the ortho configuration). It is a constitutional isomer of m-xylene and p-xylene, the mixture being called xylene or xylenes. o-Xylene is a colorless slightly oily flammable liquid . If the compound has been ingested, rapid gastric lavage should be performed using 5\\% sodium bicarbonate. For skin contact, the skin should be washed with soap and water. If the compound has entered the eyes, they should be washed with large quantities of isotonic saline or water. In serious cases, atropine and/or pralidoxime should be administered. Anti-cholinergic drugs work to counteract the effects of excess acetylcholine and reactivate AChE. Atropine can be used as an antidote in conjunction with pralidoxime or other pyridinium oximes (such as trimedoxime or obidoxime), though the use of -oximes has been found to be of no benefit, or possibly harmful, in at least two meta-analyses. Atropine is a muscarinic antagonist, and thus blocks the action of acetylcholine peripherally (T3DB). o-Xylene belongs to the family of Toluenes. These are compounds containing a benzene ring which bears a methane group.
Detomidine
A profound lethargy and characteristic lowering of the head with reduced sensitivity to environmental stimuli (sound, pain, etc.) are seen with detomidine. A short period of reduced coordination is characteristically followed by immobility and a firm stance with front legs spread. Following administration there is an initial increase in blood pressure, followed by bradycardia and second degree atrioventricular block (this is not pathologic in horses). The horse commonly sweats to excess, especially on the flanks and neck. Other side effects reported include pilo erection (hair standing erect), ataxia, salivation, slight muscle tremors, and (rarely) penile prolapse. An agonist of receptors, adrenergic alpha-2 that is used in veterinary medicine for its analgesic and sedative properties. It is the racemate of dexmedetomidine. [PubChem]; As detomidine is an arrhythmogenic agent, extreme care should be exercised in horses with cardiac disease, and in the concurrent administration of other arrhythmogenics. The concurrent use of potentiated sulfonamide antibiotics is considered particularly dangerous. Detomidine is a poor premedication when using Ketamine as an anesthetic in horses. Detomidine is a sedative with analgesic properties. 2-adrenergic agonists produce dose-dependent sedative and analgesic effects, mediatated by activation of catecholamine receptors, thus inducing a negative feedback response, reducing production of excitatory neurotransmitters. Due to inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system, detomidine also has cardiac and respiratory effects and an antidiuretic action. Detomidine is an imidazole derivative and I-adrenergic agonist, used as a large animal sedative, primarily used in horses. It is usually available as the salt detomidine hydrochloride. It is a prescription medication available to veterinarians sold under the trade name Dormosedan.

Dexmedetomidine
Dexmedetomidine is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is an agonist of receptors, adrenergic alpha-2 that is used in veterinary medicine for its analgesic and sedative properties. It is the racemate of dexmedetomidine. [PubChem]Dexmedetomidine is a specific and selective alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist. By binding to the presynaptic alpha-2 adrenoceptors, it inhibits the release if norepinephrine, therefore, terminate the propagation of pain signals. Activation of the postsynaptic alpha-2 adrenoceptors inhibits the sympathetic activity decreases blood pressure and heart rate.

Dexmedetomidine shows 1620-fold selectivity against α1-adrenoceptor. Dexmedetomidine exhibits anxiolysis, sedation, and modest analgesia effects[1][2][3]. Medetomidine is an orally active α2-adrenoceptor agonist (Ki: 1.08 nM). Medetomidine has sedative and analgesic effects. Medetomidine can cause peripheral vasoconstriction through the activation of α2 adrenoceptors on blood vessels[1][2][3][4].
4-Ethyl-o-xylene
4-ethyl-o-xylene, also known as 2-methyl-P-ethyltoluene or 4-ethyl-1,2-dimethylbenzene, is a member of the class of compounds known as O-xylenes. O-xylenes are aromatic compounds that contain a o-xylene moiety, which is a monocyclic benzene carrying exactly two methyl groups at the 1- and 2-positions. 4-ethyl-o-xylene can be found in corn, which makes 4-ethyl-o-xylene a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. 4-ethyl-o-xylene can be found primarily in feces. 4-Ethyl-o-xylene belongs to the family of Toluenes. These are compounds containing a benzene ring which bears a methane group.
