Popis: | This article brings together work on imidazoline or imidazole-containing compounds concerned with the pharmacology of alpha-adrenoceptors, principally on smooth muscle, to illustrate how imidazolines have contributed to the subclassification of alpha-adrenoceptors and how, against this background, attempts have been made to use this knowledge to uncover "nonadrenoceptor"-mediated biological effects of previously uncharacterized compounds, notably imidazole-containing dipeptides and "clonidine displacing substance" (CDS). Recent data are included on (1) the pharmacology of UK-14304, (2) nonadrenoceptor actions of phentolamine, (3) the pharmacology of tissue extracts containing imidazole-containing dipeptides and CDS activity, and (4) ligand binding data at I1 and I2 sites. |
