Biological Activity for Rilmenidine hemifumarate

Rilmenidine hemifumarate is an I₁-imidazoline binding site selective ligand and α₂-adrenoceptor agonist. Possesses greater I₁ vs α₂ selectivity than the prototypical compound, clonidine. Also thought to enhance autophagy; shown to increase LC3-II levels in PC12 cells.
