Guanoxabenz is a centrally acting antihypertensive drug of the imidazoline/oxazoline class, structurally related to guanfacine and clonidine. It acts as an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist and was previously used in the management of high blood pressure, but is no longer widely approved or used in clinical practice.
No specific published pharmacokinetic model or detailed PK parameters for humans were identified in peer-reviewed articles. Estimates below are made based on the pharmacokinetic behavior of closely related drugs (e.g., clonidine, guanfacine) in healthy adults.
