Cyclohexylamino oxazoline 1 (AGN 190837), an analogue of 2 (Bay a6781), is a potent alpha(2) adrenoceptor agonist. On the basis of a design generated by receptor-ligand modeling, a number of cyclohexyl and norbornyl analogues were synthesized wherein the propyl group of 1 was replaced by phenylalkyl subsituents. This resulted in compound 6 being an alpha(2c) selective agonist, as well as 7 and 9 being alpha(2a)/alpha(2c) selective.
