Abstract:
AIM: To search for compounds having strong vasodilating effect. METHODS: The mixed anhydride method was used. RESULTS: Twenty benzamides(I
1~12) and cinnamides(II
1~8) were designed and synthesized. CONCLUSION: All synthesized amides were submitted to pharmacological screening and 0.1 μmol.L
-1 (10-7mol.L
-1) noradrenaline induced contraction of rat aortic strip was taken as criterion. Compound I
5 was shown to be a potent potassium channel activator. Compound II
8 exhibited calcium antagonistic activity and showed potent vasodilating activity.
