1 Yohimbine dimers exhibiting selectivity for the human alpha 2C-adrenoceptor subtype. Yohimbine adrenoceptor alpha 2C Homo sapiens
2 Initial studies showed that yohimbine was about 4- and 15-fold more selective for the human alpha2C-adrenoceptor in comparison with the alpha2A- and alpha2B-adrenoceptors, respectively. Yohimbine adrenoceptor alpha 2C Homo sapiens
3 These findings demonstrate that the addition of spacer linkages to bivalent yohimbine molecules provides a successful approach to the development of ligands that are potent and highly selective for the alpha2C-adrenoceptor. Yohimbine adrenoceptor alpha 2C Homo sapiens
