Abstract: The study of two series of 2-aryl-ethylen-imidazolines 3-7 and 8-12 inspired by I2-IBS ligands phenyzoline (1) and diphenyzoline (2), respectively, confirmed the interesting "positive" or "negative" morphine analgesia modulation displayed by their corresponding leads and demonstrated that these effects might be correlated with morphine tolerance and dependence, respectively. By comparative examination of rationally designed compounds, some analogies between binding site cavity of I2-IBS proteins and alpha 2C-adrenoreceptor emerged.
