N Y (what is this?)
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.
