Description

Idazoxan is an alpha2 receptor antagonist which also shows activity at imidazoline I1 and I2 receptors and modulates the release of dopamine. Idazoxan was in phase II development in the US. Later the development of idazoxan for schizophrenia was discontinued. It was also in clinical trials for cognition disorders in United Kingdom, and was also discontinued. Idazoxan is used in scientific research as a tool for the study of alpha 2-adrenoceptors.
