GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Imidazolidine is the hydrogen-saturated analogue of imidazole and imidazoline dihydrogenated one. Imidazoline has a single double bond but imidazolidine has no double bond. The resonance structures of imidazole keep the aromaticity intact. Imidazole is a base and an excellent nucleophile. It reacts at the NH nitrogen. Generaly nucleophilic substitutions at the carbon atoms except C-2 are difficult with imidazole. But It is susceptible to electrophilic attacks at the carbon atoms with imidazoline and imidazolidine. Imidazoline molecules are sympathomimetic agents effecting on alpha-adrenergic receptors primarily and little effecting on beta-adrenergic receptors. The imidazoline derivatives of adrenergic alpha-agonist include oxymetazoline (CAS RN: 1491-59-4) , xylometazoline (CAS RN: 526-36-3), tetrahydrozoline (CAS RN: 84-22-0) , and naphazoline (CAS RN: 835-31-4), They are found in topical ophthalmic and nasal decongestants.

Apraclonidine (p-amino substituted clonidine) is an adrenergic agonist that acts predominantly at alpha adrenergic receptors; used to treat and prevent ocular hypertension. It reduces intraocular pressure in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma.
