Guanoclor (CAS#: 5001-32-1) binds to non-adrenergic sites in pig kidney membranes (IC₅₀ for inhibition of [³H]idazoxan binding = 10 ± 5 nM).[1]
Guanoclor (CAS#: 5001-32-1) inhibits Na⁺/H⁺ exchange activity with an IC₅₀ of 1 μM.[1] Guanoclor targets the sympathetic nervous system. It acts as a sympatholytic agent, reducing sympathetic outflow from the central nervous system. This leads to decreased peripheral vascular resistance and reduced blood pressure. The compound is a guanidine derivative with antihypertensive properties. |

| ln Vitro |
Guanoclor (CAS#: 5001-32-1) potently inhibited specific [³H]idazoxan binding to pig kidney membranes in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC₅₀ value of 10 ± 5 nM (n=3). It was among the most potent imidazolidines tested, slightly more potent than guanabenz (IC₅₀ = 18 ± 5 nM) and guanoxan (IC₅₀ = 20 ± 3 nM).[1]
Guanoclor (CAS#: 5001-32-1) inhibited Na⁺/H⁺ exchange activity with an IC₅₀ of 1 μM, as previously reported (Frelin et al., 1986).[1] Guanoclor reduces blood pressure by decreasing sympathetic nervous system activity. It has been used clinically as an antihypertensive agent. The compound's mechanism involves reducing peripheral vascular resistance through sympathetic inhibition, leading to decreased blood pressure. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Guanoclor was used as an antihypertensive agent for the treatment of hypertension. It reduces blood pressure through its sympatholytic effects. The compound was administered orally and had clinical efficacy in lowering blood pressure.

| Enzyme Assay |
For [³H]idazoxan binding experiments, crude pig kidney membranes were incubated with 2 nM [³H]idazoxan in a buffer consisting of 2 mM EGTA, 1 mM MgCl₂, and 50 mM Tris-Cl at pH 7.4. The incubation was carried out for 45 minutes at 20°C. Bound and free ligand were separated by rapid vacuum filtration through GF/C filters, and the bound radioactivity was determined by liquid scintillation counting. Non-specific binding was determined in the presence of 10 μM tolazoline or 10 μM guanoxan. In competition experiments, various concentrations of unlabeled compounds (including Guanoclor (CAS#: 5001-32-1)) were tested in duplicate at least 10 concentrations. IC₅₀ values are defined as the concentration required to inhibit specific [³H]idazoxan binding by 50%.[1]
Cell-free assays for Guanoclor are not typically performed as its mechanism of action involves central sympathetic nervous system effects rather than direct receptor binding that can be easily measured in cell-free systems. Receptor binding assays could potentially be developed to assess its interactions with adrenergic receptors. |
| Cell Assay |
Cells expressing adrenergic receptors or neuronal cells could be treated with Guanoclor to assess its effects on sympathetic signaling. However, specific cellular assays for this compound are not well documented in the literature.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for Guanoclor were historically conducted in rodent and dog models of hypertension. The compound was administered orally or intravenously. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured to assess antihypertensive efficacy.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Guanoclor is orally bioavailable. As a small molecule (MW 213.7, formula C8H12ClN5), it is absorbed after oral administration. The compound is metabolized in the liver and excreted primarily by the kidneys. PK parameters have been characterized in historical studies.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Guanoclor has been associated with adverse effects including orthostatic hypotension, dizziness, and fatigue. As a sympatholytic agent, it has potential for sedation and other CNS effects. Standard toxicological assessments were conducted historically to support clinical use.

Guanoclor is a dichlorobenzene.
See also: Guanoclor sulfate (note moved to). Guanoclor (CAS#: 5001-32-1) is an imidazolidine derivative recognized for its antihypertensive properties, traditionally believed to act as a central α₂-adrenoceptor agonist. This study demonstrates that it also binds with high affinity (IC₅₀ = 10 nM) to a novel class of non-adrenergic binding sites in pig kidney membranes. These sites are distinct from α₂-adrenoceptors (yohimbine binding sites), clonidine-preferring sites, the Na⁺/H⁺ exchanger, and the epithelial Na⁺ channel, as [³H]idazoxan binding was not displaced by adrenergic compounds (epinephrine, prazosin, phenylephrine, yohimbine) and amiloride derivatives showed different potency orders.[1] Guanoclor (molecular formula C8H12ClN5, MW 213.7) is an antihypertensive agent that acts as a sympatholytic agent. It is a guanidine derivative that was used clinically for the treatment of hypertension. The compound is also known by the brand name Wytensin. It is intended for research use only. |
