Structure-Affinity Relationship Study of Novel Imidazoline Ligands at Imidazoline Binding Sites and α-Adrenoceptors
DownloadFall 2014
Many drugs containing an imidazoline moiety are thought to bind to both imidazoline binding sites (IBS) and α-adrenoceptors (α-AR) to mediate their therapeutic effects. To aid in better characterisation of these binding sites, the structure-affinity relationships of several new series of...

Download2008
Hanson, J., Hayduk, L., Quan, H., Olson, K., Strasser, F., Cui, Y., Lawlor, P., Cree, M.
Background: Symptoms tend to occur in what have been called symptom clusters. Early symptom cluster research was imprecise regarding the causal foundations of the coordinations between specific symptoms, and was silent on whether the relationships between symptoms remained stable over time. This...
