The quest for novel, physiologically active imidazoles remains an exciting topic of research among medicinal chemists. The imidazole ring is a five-membered aromatic heterocycle that is found in both natural and synthesized compounds. Multiple anticancer drug classes are currently available on the market, but concerns including toxicity, limited efficacy and solubility have lowered the overall therapeutic index. Therefore, the hunt for new potential chemotherapeutic agents persists. The development of imidazole as a reliable and safer alternative to anticancer treatment is generating much attention among experts. Tubulin or microtubule polymerization inhibition and changes in the structure and function of DNA, VEGF, topoisomerase, kinases, histone deacetylases and certain other proteins that affect gene expression are among the putative targets.

Dexmedetomidine is a centrally acting alpha-2 agonist used for initiation and maintenance of procedural sedation and mechanical ventilation in adult and pediatric settings. It is commonly used in both pediatric and neonatal intensive care units. Dexmedetomidine requires extensive titration, and patients can be over or under-sedated during titration, leading to adverse events such as hypotension and bradycardia, or inadequate sedation, which can result in self-extubation.
