Compounds of the general formula:
wherein R1 is aryl which may have 1 to 5 substituent(s) selected from the groups consisting of halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkanesulfonamido, mono(or di or tri)-halo(lower)alkyl, carbomoyl, hydroxy, nitro, amino, cyano, sulfamoyl, N,N-di(lower)alkylsulfamoyl, and di(lower- )alkylamino which may form a 3 to 7-membered ring with or without an oxygen or nitrogen atom;
2-(2-Phenoxyphenylimino) imidazolidine and related compounds (IV and XII) were synthesized and evaluated for hypotensive activity in rats. Most of the 2-aryliminoimidazolidines (IV) were synthesized via the aniline derivatives (VI) by two different methods. Some imidazolidines (IV) were found to be significantly active, with 2-(5-chloro-2-phenoxyphenylimino) imidazolidine (IV-19) being more active than prazosin, the reference compound. The mechanism of action of IV-9 may involve the blockade of peripheral α-adrenergic receptors. This paper describes the synthesis, pharmacology, and structure-activity relationships of the 2-(2-phenoxyphenylimino) imidazolidines.
