I1-imidazoline receptor activation by moxonidine has potent antigastric secretory and gastroprotective effects in rats. We therefore tested whether an imidazoline receptor antagonist, efaroxan, would influence gastric secretion and block the antisecretory and antiulcer effects of moxonidine. When given intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.)

The excitation of renal sympathetic nervous system plays an important role in the development of ischemic acute kidney injury in rats. Recently, we found that agmatine, an adrenaline alpha(2)/imidazoline I(1)-receptor agonist, has preventive effects on ischemic acute kidney injury by

A partial recovery of locomotor functions has been shown in spinal cord-transected (Tx) cats after regular treadmill training and repeated administration of clonidine, an alpha(2)-adrenoreceptor agonist. However, clonidine has generally failed to show prolocomotor effects in other models (e.g., rat

The known HPLC method using an achiral C8 silica sorbent and a circular dichroism (CD) detector for the determination of efaroxan enantiomeric excess has been validated. After optimization of the mobile phase, the enantiomers were detected at 278 nm offering

A rapid method for the enantiomeric purity determination of efaroxan has been developed by capillary electrophoresis (CE) using a dual cyclodextrin (CD) system. The influence of the nature and the concentration of CDs on separation parameters has been studied. High
