Coupling of I(1) imidazoline receptors to the cAMP pathway: studies with a highly selective ligand, benazoline.
Clonidine and benazoline are two structurally related imidazolines. Whereas clonidine binds both to alpha(2)-adrenoceptors (alpha(2)R) and to I(1) imidazoline receptors (I(1)R), benazoline showed a… Expand

Imidazoline receptors: qualitative structure-activity relationships and discovery of tracizoline and benazoline. Two ligands with high affinity and unprecedented selectivity.
The observation that all the attempts to characterize imidazoline (I) receptors have been carried out with non-selective or poorly selective ligands prompted us to undertaken research aimed at… Expand

Imidazoline binding sites (IBS) profile modulation: key role of the bridge in determining I1-IBS or I2-IBS selectivity within a series of 2-phenoxymethylimidazoline analogues.
The alpha- and beta-methyl derivatives of 2-phenylethylimidazoline (compounds 7 and 8) and the corresponding enantiomers were prepared and tested with the purpose of studying the role played by the… Expand

Structure-activity relationships in 1,4-benzodioxan-related compounds. 8.(1) {2-[2-(4-chlorobenzyloxy)phenoxy]ethyl}-[2-(2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy)ethyl]amine (clopenphendioxan) as a tool to highlight the…
A series of new alpha1-adrenoreceptor antagonists (5-18) was prepared by introducing various substituents (Topliss approach) into the ortho, meta, and para positions of the benzyloxy function of the… Expand

Age-related changes in the density of muscarinic cholinergic M1 and M2 receptor subtypes in pyramidal neurons of the rat hippocampus.
Age-dependent changes in the expression of muscarinic M1 and M2 cholinergic receptors were assessed in the CA1 and CA3 fields of hippocampus using radioligand binding and autoradiographic techniques… Expand

alpha 2-adrenoreceptors profile modulation. 2. Biphenyline analogues as tools for selective activation of the alpha 2C-subtype.
A series of derivatives structurally related to biphenyline (3) was designed with the aim to modulate selectivity toward the alpha(2)-AR subtypes. The results obtained demonstrated that the presence… Expand

α2C-adrenoceptor modulators: a patent review
Introduction: α2-Adrenoceptors (α2-ARs) are membrane proteins belonging to the superfamily of GPCRs. Detailed studies have shown three different subtypes, namely α2A, α2B and α2C. Although numerous… Expand

Antagonism/Agonism modulation to build novel antihypertensives selectively triggering i1-imidazoline receptor activation.
Pharmacological studies have suggested that I1-imidazoline receptors are involved in the regulation of cardiovascular function and that selective I1-agonists, devoid of the side effects associated… Expand

Discovery of highly selective imidazoline receptor ligands
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the discovery of highly selective imidazoline receptor ligands. Phenylethylamines and imidazolines are traditionally thought of as representing the two major… Expand
