The Isometheptene (R)-enantiomeractivity indicates a selective centrally acting selective ligand for Imidazoline Publication Classification Subtype 1 (I.1) receptor sites; and more specifically, the dis closure provides an antihypertensive composition for treat (51) Int. Cl. ment of migraine and other neurovascular or neurogenic pain CD7C 2 II/2 (2006.01) from abdominal distress. (R)-Isometheptene enantiomer or A6 IK3I/3 (2006.01) isomer 2 may be an anti-hypertensive agent with lower side A6 IK 45/06 (2006.01) effects than the racemate form. Therefore (R)-Isometheptene A6 IK3 L/452 (2006.01) is believed to be effective against episodic tension-type head C07B 53/00 (2006.01) aches (ETTH). The (R)-Isometheptene enantiomer or isomer A6 IK3I/67 (2006.01) 2 is believed to effectively lower blood pressure, used alone or A6 IK3I/92 (2006.01) together with other headache ameliorating drugs. Methods of A6 IK3I/522 (2006.01) synthesis and treatment are described. Regarding (R)- C07C 59/285 (2006.01) Isometheptene crystals data of X-ray crystallography are pre CD7C 209/68 (2006.01) sented.
