Imidazoline Receptor

Imidazoline receptors are the primary receptors on which clonidine and other imidazolines act. There are three classes of imidazoline receptors: I1 receptor – mediates the sympatho-inhibitory actions of imidazolines to lower blood pressure, (NISCH or IRAS, imidazoline receptor antisera selected), I2 receptor - an allosteric binding site of monoamine oxidase and is involved in pain modulation and neuroprotection, I3 receptor - regulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. Activated I1-imidazoline receptors trigger the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine into DAG. Elevated DAG levels in turn trigger the synthesis of second messengers arachidonic acid and downstreameicosanoids. In addition, the sodium-hydrogen antiporter is inhibited, and enzymes of catecholamine synthesis are induced. The I1-imidazoline receptor may belong to the neurocytokine receptorfamily, since its signaling pathways are similar to those of interleukins.

    Moxonidine hydrochloride (Standard)
    Agonist
    Moxonidine hydrochloride (Standard) is the analytical standard of Moxonidine hydrochloride (HY-B0374A). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Moxonidine (BDF5895) is an orally active imidazoline type 1 receptor (I1-R) agonist. Moxonidine activates imidazoline I1 receptors and α2 adrenoceptors, affecting oxidized low-density lipoprotein uptake. Moxonidine reduces atherosclerotic lesions and lowers blood pressure. Moxonidine can be used in the study of hypertension, heart failure, and atherosclerosis.

    Rilmenidine (Standard)
    Agonist
    Rilmenidine (Standard) is the analytical standard of Rilmenidine. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Rilmenidine, an innovative antihypertensive agent, is an orally active, selective I1 imidazoline receptor agonist. Rilmenidine is an alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist. Rilmenidine induces autophagy. Rilmenidine acts both centrally by reducing sympathetic overactivity and in the kidney by inhibiting the Na+/H+ antiport. Rilmenidine modulates proliferation and stimulates the proapoptotic protein Bax thus inducing the perturbation of the mitochondrial pathway and apoptosis in human leukemic K562 cells.
