Definitions

• the present invention relates to novel A/-(imidazolidin-2-ylidene)- heterocyclopenta[b]pyridine derivatives, as alpha 2 adrenergic modulators.
• Alpha 2 adrenergic receptors have been characterized by molecular and pharmacological methods which include alpha 1 A, alpha 1 B , alpha 2A, alpha 2B and alpha 2C.
• Adrenergic modulators described in this invention activate alpha 2 receptors and have useful therapeutic actions.
• Human adrenergic receptors are integral membrane proteins which have been classified into two broad classes, the alpha and the beta adrenergic receptors. Both types mediate the action of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system upon binding of catecholamines, norepinephrine and epinephrine. Norepinephrine is produced by adrenergic nerve endings, while epinephrine is produced by the adrenal medulla.
• the binding affinity of adrenergic receptors for these compounds forms one basis of the classification: alpha receptors tend to bind norepinephrine more strongly than epinephrine and much more strongly than the synthetic compound isoproterenol. The preferred binding affinity of these hormones is reversed for the beta receptors.
• the present invention relates to novel A/-(imidazolidin-2-ylidene)- heterocyclopenta[b] pyridine derivatives, as alpha 2 adrenergic modulators.
• These novel compounds will be useful for the treatment of mammals, including humans, with a range of conditions and diseases that are alleviated by alpha 2A, 2B, 2C activation, including but not limited to treating glaucoma, elevated intraocular pressure, ischemic neuropathies, optic neuropathy, pain, visceral pain, corneal pain, headache pain, migraine, cancer pain, back pain, irritable bowel syndrome pain, muscle pain and pain associated with diabetic neuropathy, the treatment of diabetic retinopathy, other retinal degenerative conditions, stroke, cognitive deficits, neuropsychiatric conditions, drug dependence and addiction, withdrawal symptoms, obsessive-compulsive disorders, obesity, insulin resistance, stress-related

Toxicol. 76, pp. 308-31 1 ). Cells expressing each of the alpha 2 adrenergic receptors alone were incubated with the various compounds and a receptor-mediated growth response was measured. The compound's activity is expressed as its relative efficacy compared to a standard full agonist (see Table 3). The compounds of this invention activate alpha 2 receptors. Table 3. Biological Data: Intrinsic Activity EC 5 o nM (efficacy)
