Imidazolines (eg clonidine and tolazoline) are an important class of compound because of their wide experimental and clinical use.?, ome imidazolines interact with higli specificity and affinity with uZ-adrenoceptors and have therefore been radiolabelled and used as radioligands to identify and quantify these receptors. The a,-adrenergic nature of binding sites for these ligands was confirmed by the observation that they have high affinity for catecholamines and a,-adrenoceptorselective antagonists such as rauwolscine, but low affinity for a,-adrenoceptor-selective antagonists such as prazosin. Recent evidence, however, shows that a-adrenoceptor radioligands with an imidazoline structure-[3H] p-NHz-clonidine ([3H]-PAC) or rH] idazoxan, for example (Fig. 1)-can also bind to sites that are not competed for by catecholamines, suggesting that these additional sites are not adrenoceptors. These binding sites also differ from cw-adrenoceptors in their biochemical properties and in their a. tatomical location1* 2: Moreover, they dc not appear to be receptors for dopamine, S-HT or histamine%‘. Somewhat surprisingly, certain drugs that were previously considered to have high specificity for ar-adrenoceptors recognize these binding sites with high affinity. As most of these ‘high affinity’drugs have an imidazoline structure, the non-adrenergic sir&s have been termed ‘imidazoline-preferring binding sites’. They have been demonstrated in various tissues (eg kidney and brain) of rabbits, rats, pigs and humans, as well as in the human erythroleukemia cell line3-13. However, the pharmacological characteristics of the imidazoline-preferring binding sites differ considerably depending on the species investigated and the radioligand used. In this article we discuss the pha~ acologic~ specificity and possible physiological relevance of imidazoline-preferring. binding sites of this type, with special regard to their apparent heterogeneiti.
