Synthesis of novel benzylimidazolines possessing antihypertensive and sedative activity.
In the course of a study to produce new long acting local anaesthetics, a number of novel benzylimidazoline derivatives were synthesised and tested for local anaesthetic activity, vasoconstrictor effect and ease of displacement of p-aminoclonidine. The synthesis is shown in Scheme 1.- The synthesised compounds do not exhibit a significant local anaesthetic effect, but display an antihypertensive action with considerable alpha-2 adrenoceptor binding affinity.
