Résumé

Methylated analogues of imidazoline related compounds (IRC) were prepared; their abilities to bind I(1) imidazoline receptors (I(1)Rs), I(2) imidazoline binding sites (I(2)BS) and alpha(2)-adrenoceptor subtypes (alpha(2)ARs) were assessed. Methylation of the heterocyclic moiety of IRC resulted in a significant loss of alpha(2)AR affinity. Amongst the selective ligands obtained, LNP 630 (4) constitutes the first highly selective I(1)R agent showing hypotensive activity after intravenous administration.
