Rilmenidine is a centrally acting antihypertensive agent that has been shown to lower arterial pressure in various animal models by inhibiting the tonic activity of sympathoexcitatory neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla.{25847} Rilmenidine targets the nonadrenergic imidazoline-binding site I1 receptor with a Ki value of 7.1 nM and demonstrates weaker affinity for the I2 receptor with a Ki value of 5.2 µM.{25846,30142} It can also act as an agonist of α2-adrenergic receptors, but demonstrates ~30-fold greater selectivity for I1 receptors compared to α2-adrenergic receptors.{30141} Rilmenidine is reported to induce autophagy as evidenced by a ~350% increase in LC3-II levels in PC12 cells when treated with 1 µM of the I1 agonist.{30143}
