2-(Anilinomethyl)imidazolines as α1 Adrenergic Receptor Agonists:  the Discovery of α1a Subtype Selective 2‘-Alkylsulfonyl-Substituted Analogues

Abstract: A series of 2'-alkylthio-2-(anilinomethyl)imidazolines were prepared to examine the effect of the alkyl group size, sulfur oxidation state, and phenyl ring substitution on ligand binding and agonism of alpha-adrenergic receptor subtypes alpha1a, alpha1b, alpha1d, alpha2a, and alpha2c. Binding at all receptor subtypes decreased for compounds in the sulfone oxidation state as compared to their sulfide analogues. While sulfides were generally potent, nonselective agonists, sulfones exhibited alpha1a subtype selec… Show more

“…Starting Materials . Aniline and 4-(trifluoromethyl)-, 4-chloro-, 4-methoxy-, 4-(methylsulfanyl)-, 4-acetyl-, 2-(methylsulfanyl)-, and 2-iodoaniline were commercially available; 4-azidoaniline, 4-chloro-2-(methylsulfanyl)aniline, 5-chloro-2-(methylsulfanyl)aniline, and 2-(2-phenylethynyl)aniline were synthesized according to the literature. The corresponding diazonium tetrafluoroborates 7a − g were prepared following usual procedures…”
