Tiamenidine ( BAN, USAN, INN, also known as thiamenidine, Hoe 440) is an imidazoline compound that shares many of the pharmacological properties of clonidine. It is a centrally-acting α2 adrenergic receptor agonist ( IC50 = 9.1 nM). [2] It also acts as an α1-adrenergic receptor agonist to a far lesser extent (IC50 = 4.85 μM). [2] In hypertensive volunteers, like clonidine, it significantly increased sinus node recovery time and lowered cardiac output. [3] It was marketed (as tiamenidine hydrochloride) by Sanofi-Aventis [4] under the brand name Sundralen [5] for the management of essential hypertension. [6]
Reaction of thiourea 1 with methyl iodide gives the corresponding S-methyl analogue (2), followed by heating with ethylenediamine, completes the synthesis of tiamenidine (3).
