In this electrophysiological study, the effect of BU-224 (2-(4,5-dihydroimidazol-2yl)-quinoline hydrochloride)), a novel high affinity imidazoline I2 receptor ligand, was tested on the responses of nociceptive neurones in the spinal dorsal horn. When applied spinally, akin to an intrathecal application (i.t.)

Over several years our group has sought to synthesize and identify selective ligands for imidazoline (I) receptors, in particular the I2 binding site. As a consequence, [3H]2-(2-benzofuranyl)-2-imidazoline (2BFI) has proved extremely useful for binding and autoradiographic studies. More recently we

A positron emission tomography (PET) probe with ultra-high specific radioactivity (SA) enables measuring high receptor specific binding in brain regions by avoiding mass effect of the PET probe itself. It has been reported that PET probe with ultra-high SA can

Anti-cancer therapy based on the repeated administration of oxaliplatin is limited by the development of a disabling neuropathic syndrome with detrimental effects on the patient's quality of life. The lack of effective pharmacological approaches calls for the identification of innovative

Activation of type 2 imidazoline receptors has been shown to exhibit neuroprotective properties including anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects, suggesting a potential therapeutic value in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we explored the effects of the imidazoline-2 ligand BU224 in a model
