| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Guanabenz is an α2-adrenergic agonist that exhibits pronounced hypotensive action, and
that is associated with a reduction of overall peripheral vascular resistance, decline in frequency
of cardiac contractions, and reduced cardiac output. | [Originator]
Wytensin,Wyeth,US,1982 | [Uses]
alpha agonists | [Uses]
It is used both independently and in combination with oral diuretics for treating various
degrees of hypertension. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Guanabenz is a dichlorobenzene. | [Manufacturing Process]
A mixture of 14.0 g of 2,6-dichlorobenzaldehyde, 10.8 g of aminoguanidine
bicarbonate and 100 ml of pyridine was refluxed for 3 hours. The reaction
mixture was poured into water and the crystalline precipitate filtered off; MP
225°C to 227°C. | [Therapeutic Function]
Antihypertensive | [Synthesis]
Guanabenz, [(2,6-dichlorobenzyliden) amino] guanidine (22.3.1), is synthesized
in one step by reacting 2,6-dichlorobenzaldehyde with amino guanidine.
| [storage]
Store at -20°C | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise the guanidine from MeCN and store it in a CO2–free atmosphere. The monoHCl [23256-5-0] has m 178o(dec) [solubility w% at 25o is 1.1(H2O), 5(EtOH), 0.1(EtOAc), 0.06(CHCl3)]. It is an antihypertensive drug. [Holmes et al. Drugs 26 212 1983.] |
