2-(4,5-Dihydroimidazol-2-yl)benzimidazoles have been identified as selective imidazoline I2/alpha2-adrenoceptor ligands. 4-Methyl (2) and 4-chloro (4) derivatives display I2 affinity at nanomolar concentration (Ki=4.4 and 17.7 nM, respectively) and high I2/alpha2 selectivity ratio=4226 and 5649, respectively. An evidence has been obtained that pKa value influences considerably the I2/alpha2-selectivity ratio of this class of imidazoline I2 receptor ligands.

Imidazoline receptors (I-IRs) are altered in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and are associated with analgesia. I-IRs are not structurally described, and their pharmacological characterization relies on their modulation by highly affine ligands. Herein, we describe the synthesis of (3-phenylcarbamoyl-3,4-dihydro-2-pyrrol-2-yl)phosphonates endowed with relevant affinities for I-IRs in human brain tissues.

Liquid Chromatography Column Screening for the Analysis of Corrosion Inhibitor Molecules Using Derringer Desirability Functions.

Corrosion inhibitors (CIs) are extensively employed in the oil and gas industry, yet their analysis remains a challenge. To develop a suitable liquid chromatography method for a wide array of CIs, a column screening was conducted. Nine different chromatographic conditions were tested across eight RPLC and mixed-mode columns (Accucore C18, CORTECS Shield RP18, Acquity HSS T3, Acquity Premier HSS T3, Accucore 150-C4, Accucore PFP, Synergi Polar RP, and Acclaim WCX-1).

Background And Purpose: The ligands of the imidazoline and α-adrenergic receptors are mainly imidazoline and guanidine derivatives, known as centrally-acting antihypertensives and compounds with potential use in various neurological disorders. The extent of their ionisation has a major influence on their behaviour in the different analytical systems. The main objective of this work was to compare the mechanism of chromatographic retention and electrophoretic mobility under acidic, neutral and basic conditions.

Exploring the reactivity of bicyclic α-iminophosphonates to access new imidazoline I receptor ligands.

Recent studies pointed out the modulation of imidazoline I receptors (I-IR) by selective ligands as a putative strategy to face neurodegenerative diseases. Foregoing the classical 2-imidazoline/imidazole-containing I-IR ligands, we report a family of bicyclic α-iminophosphonates endowed with high affinity and selectivity upon I-IR and we advanced a representative compound B06 in preclinical phases. In this paper, we describe the synthetic possibilities of bicyclic α-iminophosphonates by exploring its ambivalent reactivity, leading to unprecedented molecules that showed promising activities as I-IR ligands in human brain tissues and good BBB permeation capabilities.
