- Methods for using (2-imidazolin-2-ylamino) quinoxaline derivatives
-
A method of treating a mammal comprises administering to a mammal an effective amount to provide a desired therapeutic effect in the mammal of a compound selected from the group consisting of those having the formula: STR1 , pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof and mixtures thereof, wherein R1 and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of H and alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; the R2 s are independently selected from H or alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or are, together, oxo; the R3 s are independently selected from H or alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or are, together, oxo; the 2-imidazolin-2-ylamino group may be in any of the 5-, 6, 7- or 8- positions of the quinoxaline nucleus; and R5, R6 and R7 each is located in one of the remaining 5-, 6-, 7- or 8- positions of the quinoxaline nucleus and is independently selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, H and alkyl radicals having 1 to 3 carbon atoms. Such compounds, when administered to a mammal, provide desired therapeutic effects, such as constriction of one or more blood vessels and decongestion of one or more nasal passages.

A method of treating a mammal comprises administering to a mammal an effective amount to provide a desired therapeutic effect in the mammal of a compound selected from the group consisting of those having the formula: STR1 ,pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof and mixtures thereof, wherein R 1 and R 4 are independently selected from the group consisting of H and alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; the R 2 s are independently selected from H or alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or are, together, oxo; the R 3 s are independently selected from H or alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or are, together, oxo; the 2-imidazolin-2-ylamino group may be in any of the 5-, 6, 7-or 8-positions of the quinoxaline nucleus; and R 5, R 6 and R 7 each is located in one of the remaining 5-, 6-, 7-or 8-positions of the quinoxaline nucleus and is independently selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, H and alkyl radicals having 1 to 3 carbon atoms. Such compounds, when administered to a mammal, provide desired therapeutic effects, such as reduction in peripheral pain, anesthetization of the central nervous system, constriction of one or more blood vessels, reduction in or prevention of at least one effect of ischemia, decongestion of one or more nasal passages, and reduction of at least one effect of an inflammatory disorder.

- (2-imidazolin-2-ylamino) tetrahydroquinoxalines and methods for using same
-
A compound selected from the group consisting of those having the formula: STR1 and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, wherein R1 wherein R1 and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of H and alkyl radicals containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R2 and R3 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, OXO, and alkyl radicals containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, the 2-imidazolin-2-ylamino group may be in any of the 5-, 6-, 7- or 8- positions of the quinoxaline nucleus, and R5, R6 and R7 each is located in one of the remaining 5-, 6-, 7- or 8- positions of the qunioxaline nucleus and is selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, H and alkyl radicals containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms. Such compounds, when administered to a mammal, provide desired therapeutic effects, such as alteration in the rate of fluid transport in the gastrointestinal tract, reduction in intraocular pressure, and increase in renal fluid flow.
