moxonidine: structure given in first source

Muscle Rigidity: Continuous involuntary sustained muscle contraction which is often a manifestation of BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES. When an affected muscle is passively stretched, the degree of resistance remains constant regardless of the rate at which the muscle is stretched. This feature helps to distinguish rigidity from MUSCLE SPASTICITY. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p73)

" Although rigidity was reduced by efaroxan (an imidazoline I(1) receptor and alpha(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist) and idazoxan (an imidazoline I(1) and I(2) receptor and alpha(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist), SKF86466 and yohimbine, both of which are alpha(2)-adrenoceptor antagonists with no affinity for imidazoline receptors, also suppressed rigidity, suggesting that activation rather than blockade of imidazoline I(1) receptors contributes to reduction of reserpine-induced muscle rigidity."7.74Imidazoline I(1) receptor-mediated reduction of muscle rigidity in the reserpine-treated murine model of Parkinson's disease.
