.alpha.-Adrenoreceptor reagents. 4. Resolution of some potent selective prejunctional .alpha.2-adrenoreceptor antagonists
摘要:
The resolution of three 2-substituted derivatives of idazoxan is described. The enantiomers show large separations in activity in a variety of in vitro and in vivo tests, and the active isomers are all potent and selective antagonists at the alpha 2-adrenoreceptor. The significance of these results in relation to those published on the enantiomers of idazoxan and to those on optically active alpha 2-adrenoreceptor agonists is discussed.
.alpha.-Adrenoreceptor reagents. 3. Synthesis of some 2-substituted 1,4-benzodioxans as selective presynaptic .alpha.2-adrenoreceptor antagonists
摘要:
The synthesis and pharmacological activity of a series of 2-substituted derivatives of the selective alpha 2-adrenoreceptor antagonist idazoxan (RX 781094) is described. Substitution in this position by alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, and alkoxy groups in many cases gives compounds whose potencies and selectivities are significantly greater than those of the parent compound.
