The aim of the study was to investigate the possible role of MK-801, an NMDA antagonist, in analgesia induced by rilmenidine, an imidazoline (I(1)) agonist, in mice in the formalin test. 25 microl of formalin 2.5% was injected into the

Some studies, suggesting the involvement of I(2)-imidazoline binding sites (I(2)-IBS) in morphine analgesia modulation, prompted us to examine on mice antinociceptive assays the effect produced by 1 (phenyzoline), that in view of its high I(2)-IBS affinity and high I(2)-IBS selectivity

The imidazoline-type alpha2-adrenoceptor antagonists (+/-)-efaroxan and phentolamine increase insulin secretion and reduce blood glucose levels. It is not known whether they act by antagonizing pancreatic beta-cell alpha2-adrenoceptors or by alpha2-adrenoceptor-independent mechanisms. Many imidazolines inhibit the pancreatic beta-cell KATP channel, which
T L Berridge et al.
European journal of pharmacology, 213(2), 205-212 (1992-03-24)
The effects of efaroxan (RX 821037A; 2-[2-(2-ethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuranyl)]-2-imidazoline HCl) at alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenoceptors were investigated in isolated tissues, pithed rats and conscious rats. In isolated tissues, efaroxan competitively antagonised the inhibitory effects of p-aminoclonidine in the electrically stimulated (0.1
M A Carlisle et al.
The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 274(2), 598-601 (1995-08-01)
I1-imidazoline receptor activation by moxonidine has potent antigastric secretory and gastroprotective effects in rats. We therefore tested whether an imidazoline receptor antagonist, efaroxan, would influence gastric secretion and block the antisecretory and antiulcer effects of moxonidine.
