Abstract

Novel imidazole frameworks have been identified as potent partial agonists of the alpha(1A) Adrenergic Receptor, with good selectivity over the alpha(1B), alpha(1D) and alpha(2A) receptor sub-types. Nitrile 28 possessed attractive CNS drug-like properties with good membrane permeability and no P-pg mediated efflux. 28 also possessed excellent solubility, metabolic stability and wide ligand selectivity.
