OBJECTIVES: The effect of agmatine on prostate contractility as well as the roles of imidazoline receptors and potassium channels in this action were studied using isolated Wistar rat prostate tissue.METHODS: Rat prostate strips were pre-contracted with 1 µmol/L phenylephrine...

Imidazoline receptors: possible involvement in the pathophysiology and treatment of depression.

Human psychopharmacology

Halaris A, Piletz JE.
PMID: 12404600
Hum Psychopharmacol. 2001 Jan;16(1):65-69. doi: 10.1002/hup.185.

Imidazoline receptors (IR), a novel family of non-adrenergic receptors, are present in brain, especially the limbic system, and platelets among other organs. Their functions include central mediation of blood pressure control and possibly modulation of affective symptomatology. Studies of...

Amphetamine and Clonidine Toxicity Resulting in Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome.

Pediatric emergency care

Minhaj FS, Schult RF, Dvorak P, Nacca N.
PMID: 30973502
Pediatr Emerg Care. 2019 Apr 09; doi: 10.1097/PEC.0000000000001819. Epub 2019 Apr 09.

Amphetamine toxicity typically presents with hypertension and tachycardia. Conversely, clonidine acts as an agonist at central α2 and imidazoline receptors, which may cause brief initial hypertension followed by hypotension and bradycardia in overdose. We report a case of mixed...

Amphetamine and Clonidine Toxicity Resulting in Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome.

Pediatric emergency care

Minhaj FS, Schult RF, Dvorak P, Nacca N.
PMID: 30973502

ABSTRACT: Amphetamine toxicity typically presents with hypertension and tachycardia. Conversely, clonidine acts as an agonist at central α2 and imidazoline receptors, which may cause brief initial hypertension followed by hypotension and bradycardia in overdose. We report a case of...

Imidazoline receptors: new targets for antihyperglycaemic drugs.

Expert opinion on investigational drugs

Morgan NG.
PMID: 15992117
Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 1999 May;8(5):575-84. doi: 10.1517/13543784.8.5.575.

In both animal models of Type 2 diabetes and in man, it has been evident for many years that certain imidazoline drugs can stimulate insulin secretion and improve glycaemia. This suggests that they may be useful new reagents for...

Dexmedetomidine Exerts a Negative Chronotropic Action on Sinoatrial Node Cells Through the Activation of Imidazoline Receptors.

Journal of cardiovascular pharmacology

Ishihara M, Kojima A, Ding WG, Kitagawa H, Matsuura H.

J Cardiovasc Pharmacol. 2021 Dec 01;78(6):826-838. doi: 10.1097/FJC.0000000000001133.

ABSTRACT: Dexmedetomidine (DEX), an α2-adrenoreceptor (α2-AR) and imidazoline receptor agonist, is most often used for the sedation of patients in the intensive care unit. Its administration is associated with an increased incidence of bradycardia; however, the precise mechanism of...

Modification of naloxone-precipitated withdrawal symptoms in mice by drugs acting on alpha(2)-adrenoceptors.

Behavioural pharmacology

Sharif SI, El-Kadi AO.
PMID: 11224426
Behav Pharmacol. 1996 Aug;7(4):334-340. doi: 10.1097/00008877-199608000-00004.

Modification of naloxone-precipitated withdrawal symptoms by drugs acting on alpha-adrenoceptors was investigated in morphine-dependent mice. Clonidine (0.05-1mg/kg) attenuated most withdrawal symptoms, but potentiated withdrawal hypothermia. Jumping was attenuated by doses of clonidine up to 0.3mg/kg, but markedly potentiated by...

Neuroprotective effects of receptor imidazoline 2 and its endogenous ligand agmatine.

Neuroscience bulletin

Qiu WW, Zheng RY.

Neurosci Bull. 2006 May;22(3):187-91.

Receptor imidazoline 2 (I₂) is one of the imidazoline receptors with high affinity for [³H]-idazoxan. Receptor I₂, being classified into I(₂A) and I(₂B) subtypes, is mainly localized to the outer membrane of mitochondria in liver, kidney and brain. Receptor...

Discriminative stimulus properties of ethoxy idazoxan.

Journal of psychopharmacology (Oxford, England)

Jordan S, Jackson HC, Nutt DJ, Handley SL.
PMID: 22297762
J Psychopharmacol. 1995 Jan;9(3):228-33. doi: 10.1177/026988119500900305.

The technique of drug discrimination was used to examine the ability of the highly selective α(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist ethoxy idazoxan, which has negligible affinity for α( 1)-adrenoceptors or I(2) imidazoline receptors, to produce an interoceptive discriminable stimulus or cue in...

Agmatine, an endogenous ligand of imidazoline receptors, is reported to exhibit anti-hyperglycaemic and many other effects. It has been established that the imidazoline I3 receptor is involved in insulin secretion. The current study characterizes the role of the imidazoline...

Pharmacological studies have suggested that I1-imidazoline receptors are involved in the regulation of cardiovascular function and that selective I1-agonists, devoid of the side effects associated with the common hypotensive α2-adrenoreceptor agonists, might be considered as a second generation of...
