Moxonidine is an agonist of I1-imidazoline receptor with EC50 value of 1.3µM [1].
Moxonidine can bind to both I1-imidazoline receptor (I1R) and α2-adrenergic receptor (α2AR). The selectivity of moxonidine for I1R is 33-fold over α2AR. Moxonidine plays its antihypertensive role in the central nervous system. It has a central site of action. It is shown no effect in pithed rats and in cats following spinal cord transaction. Moxonidine also reduces sympathetic outflow and lowers peripheral vascular resistence [1, 2].
Besides the antihypertensive efficacy, Moxonidine is reported to have effects on gastric secretion and gastric mucosal injury in rats. It significantly reduces basal gastric acid secretion when given doses of 0.1 (63% inhibition) and 1.0 (65% inhibition) mg/kg. Even 0.01mg/kg moxonidine can reduce the gastric mucosal injury induced by ethanol [3].
