Rilmenidine
Rilmenidine is a selective imidazoline I1 receptor agonist and alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that reduces sympathetic outflow from the central nervous system by acting on imidazoline receptors in the rostral ventrolateral medulla and nucleus tractus solitarius, thereby decreasing peripheral vascular resistance and heart rate. It is used for the treatment of hypertension with a more favorable side effect profile than older central antihypertensives.
