Imiloxan, with the CAS number 81167-16-0, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of imidazoline derivatives. It is primarily recognized for its role as a selective antagonist of certain adrenergic receptors, particularly the alpha-2 adrenergic receptors. This characteristic makes it of interest in pharmacological research, particularly in the context of studying its effects on the central nervous system and potential therapeutic applications. Imiloxan is typically characterized by its moderate lipophilicity, which influences its ability to cross biological membranes. The compound is often utilized in experimental settings to investigate the modulation of neurotransmitter release and the physiological responses associated with adrenergic signaling. Additionally, its chemical structure includes functional groups that contribute to its biological activity and receptor selectivity. As with many pharmacologically active compounds, safety and toxicity profiles are essential considerations in its use and study.
