Imiloxan is a drug which is used in scientific research. It acts as a selective antagonist for the α2B adrenergic receptor,[1] and has been useful for distinguishing the actions of the different α2 adrenergic subtypes.[2][3]
Synthesis
The imidazole portion of imiloxan is prepared by the reaction of an imidate with the diethyl acetal of aminoacetaldehyde. N-Alkylation of the imidazole with ethyl iodide gives imiloxan.
