Abstract

Antiglaucoma compounds having beta adrenoreceptor antagonist properties and alpha adrenoreceptor antagonist properties are described. The compounds comprise a beta blocker-derived moiety designed to provide beta antagonist properties and an imidazolidine moiety designed to provide alpha-antagonist properties. Methods of synthesizing the compounds are also described. The compounds are useful in the treatment of glaucoma due to their ability to lower elevated intraocular pressure.
