The preparation and characterisation of a series of novel analogues of the imidazoline insulin secretagogue efaroxan, including the I3-receptor antagonist KU14R, are described. Replacement of the imidazoline ring of efaroxan by selected functional groups leads either to loss of activity or to very weak I3-agonist activity in insulin secretion studies. The imidazole analogue KU14R was found to be an I3-antagonist in this assay and useful as a biological tool.

A green and cheap protocol for the synthesis of dihydrobenzofurans via an organocatalytic oxidation of o -allylphenols is presented. The use of 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone and H 2 O 2 as the oxidation system, leads to a highly useful synthetic method, where a variety of substituted o -allylphenols were cyclized in high yields..

Modification of the 1,4-benzodioxan ring present in RX 781094 (1) has not previously been considered.This paper describes a number of analogues of this ring system, including compounds in which one of the oxygen atoms has been replaced by a methylene group and also those in which the ring size has been changed to give, for example, furan and thiophene derivatives.The dihydroxybenzofuranylimidazoline compound 7 is the only analogue possesing presynaptic antagonist potency and selectivity comparable to that of 1.In view of this result, a number of derivatives was prepared to determine the structure-activity relationships within this series.Many derivatives, as well as the parent compound 7, were found to possess presynaptic α2-adrenoreceptor antagonist and postsynaptic α1-adrenoreceptor partial agonist properties.Two of the selective presynaptic antagonists,13 and 14, possess greater potency and selectivity than that possessed by 1.The 5-chloro derivative 25 is twice as potent as 1 after oral administration but only about half as potent when given intravenously.
