Receptors blockade

An imidazole derivative which is also a hypotensive agent by virtue of adrenergic a-2-receptor blockade is imiloxan (75). Its synthe.sis begins by conversion of 2-cyanomethyl-1,4-benzodioxane (72) to its iminosMhylether with anhydrous HC in clhanol (73). Reaction of the latter with aminoacetaldehyde diethylacetal and subsequent acid treatment produces the imidazole ring (74). Alkylation of 74 with ethyl iodide mediated by sodium hydride completes the synthesis [251. 

A method called resultant analysis can be used to measure the receptor blockade produced by an antagonist with secondary properties. 

Insiirinoiintable antagonism, a receptor blockade that results in depression of the maximal response. Under these circumstances, unlike competitive antagonism, no increase in the concentration of agonist will regain the control maximal response in the presence of the antagonist.

Figure 2. The binding and dissociation of FLPEP and receptor on intact neutrophils at 37 C The data are plotted as the specific binding of FLPEP (pmoles/10 cells) on a log plot versus time. Experimental details 10 cells/mL were exposed at time 0 to 1 nAf FLPEP. At 15, 30, 60, or 120 s, antibody to fluorescein is added to each sample. Fluorescence is monitored continuously during the additions. The data ate derived from a point-by-point comparison of the fluorescence measured under conditions of receptor binding and receptor blockade. Data are representative of observations in more than 10 separate experiments. (Reproduced with permission from reference 22. Copyright 19S7 Journal of Biological Chemistry.)...

Junghans and Siebler reported a series of 24 patients with recent stroke or TIA due to LAA and detected ES on TCD who were treated acutely with intravenous tirofiban, a GP Ilb/IIIa receptor antagonist. Median ES rate at baseline was 38 signals per hour. ES were abolished by tirofiban in all patients, and returned following cessation of infusion. Although preliminary, these data support the rationale for trials of acute GP Ilb/IIIa receptor blockade in patients with recently symptomatic LAA awaiting CEA.

Unlike systolic HF, few prospective trials have evaluated the safety and efficacy of various cardiac medications in patients with diastolic HF or preserved ejection fraction. The Candesartan in Heart Failure Assessment of Reduction in Mortality and Morbidity (CHARM) study demonstrated that angiotensin receptor blockade with candesartan resulted in beneficial effects on HF morbidity in patients with preserved LVEF similar to those seen in depressed LV function.25...
