I1-imidazoline agonist moxonidine decreases sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure in hypertensives.
Moxonidine is an I1-imidazoline receptor agonist that reduces blood pressure in hypertensives. Experimental data suggest that moxonidine inhibits central sympathetic activity. However, whether such a mechanism is involved in vivo in humans is still unclear. We investigated the effects of 0.4 mg moxonidine orally on muscle sympathetic nerve activity and heart rate in an open study in 8 healthy v...
متن کاملInfluence of central inhibition of sympathetic nervous activity on myocardial metabolism in chronic heart failure: acute effects of the imidazoline I1-receptor agonist moxonidine.
Although beta-adrenergic blockade is beneficial in heart failure, inhibition of central sympathetic outflow using moxonidine has been associated with increased mortality. In the present study, we studied the acute effects of the imidazoline-receptor agonist moxonidine on haemodynamics, NA (noradrenaline) kinetics and myocardial metabolism. Fifteen patients with CHF (chronic heart failure) were ...
متن کاملMoxonidine, a selective alpha2-adrenergic and imidazoline receptor agonist, produces spinal antinociception in mice.
alpha2-Adrenergic receptor (AR)-selective compounds produce antihypertensive and antinociceptive effects. Moxonidine alleviates hypertension in multiple species, including humans. This study demonstrates that intrathecally administered moxonidine produces antinociception in mice. Antinociception was detected via the (52.5 degrees C) tail-flick and Substance P (SP) nociceptive tests. Moxonidine ...
متن کاملSympathoexcitation of moxonidine in the caudal ventrolateral medulla is dependent on I1-imidazoline receptors in anesthetized rats.
Moxonidine is a second-generation centrally acting antihypertensive drug that has a high affinity for I(1)-imidazoline receptors (I(1)R). The caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM), an important region involved in cardiovascular activity, contains binding sites for centrally acting drugs. Our study aimed to determine the effects of moxonidine injected into the CVLM on cardiovascular activity in an...
متن کاملNovel I1-Imidazoline Agonist S43126 Augment Insulin Secretion in Min6 Cells
The I1-imidazoline receptor is a novel drug target for hypertension and insulin resistance which are major disorders associated with Type II diabetes. In the present study, we examined the effects of a novel imidazoline agonist S43126 on calcium fluxes and insulin secretion from Min6 β-cells. We also examined the effects of S43126 on the induction of IRAS, and phosphorylation of components in t...
