J. Clews et al., Preparation of novel 2-(benzo[b]furan-2-yl)-1H-imidazolines for photoaffinity labelling and affinity isolation of imidazoline binding proteins, J HETERO CH, 38(2), 2001, pp. 519-521
The preparations of 5-aminoefaroxan 8 and 5-azidoefaroxan 9, which retain t
he capacity to stimulate insulin secretion via the putative I-3 imidazoline
receptor and are useful biological tools for affinity chromatography studi
es and photoaffinity labelling studies of imidazoline binding proteins, are
described.
