synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of phenylethanolamineN-methyltransferase (PNMT; EC 2.1.1.28) and as inhibitors of the binding of clonidine at the alpha(2)-adrenoceptor. 4-Fluoro-THBAs 13-15 displayed selectivity ratios (alpha(2) K(i)/PNMT K(i)) greater than 75 and 4-fluoro-8-nitro-THBA (13) was found to be one of the most selectiveinhibitors of PNMT known, with a selectivity ratio of greater
