Pa. Coates et al., Probes for imidazoline binding sites: Synthesis and evaluation of a selective, irreversible I-2 ligand, BIOORG MED, 10(6), 2000, pp. 605-607
An irreversible ligand (7) has been prepared based on the selective I-2 lig
and 2-BFI. Compound 7 displayed high affinity and selectivity for I-2-sites
and has been shown to irreversibly bind to these sites in rat brain. Compo
und 7 should, therefore, prove an invaluable tool for the further elucidati
on of I-2-site function. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
