Alpha-2 agonists act on alpha-2 adrenoreceptors, and mimic the effects of the actual ligand binding. The sedative and anxiolytic effects arise from this process leading to pre-synaptic inhibition of noradrenaline release.

There is great variation between species sensitivity to alpha-2 agonists. Cattle are ten times as sensitive to the drugs as horses.
