Some arylacridine derivatives possessing potassium channel opening activity.

In this study, six new 2,2,7,7-tetramethyl-9-aryl-2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10-octahydro-1,8-acridinedione derivatives (1-6) were synthesised and their functional effects on vascular potassium channels and mechanism of induced relaxations on phenylephrine-induced contractile responses in isolated rat mesenteric arteries were investigated. Pinacidil was used as standard potassium channel opener. Compounds 1, 2, 5, 6 and pinacidil induced concentration-dependent relaxation response of vessel rings previously contracted with phenylephrine.

Studies on 3-diethylaminocarbonyl-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline derivatives and their calcium channel antagonistic activities in vitro.

In this study, thirteen 2,6,6-trimethyl-3-carbamoyl-4-aryl-5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline derivatives were synthesized and screened for their calcium channel antagonistic actitivities. The hexahydroquinoline derivatives were synthesized according to Hantzsch reaction. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, Distortionless Enhancement Polarization Transfer (DEPT), Correlation Spectroscopy (COSY), mass spectroscopy and elemental analyses.

N,N-Diethyl-2,6,6-trimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline-3-carboxamide.

The title compound, C(23)H(29)N(3)O(4), has potential calcium modulatory properties. The conformation of the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring is unusual in that it is planar, instead of the usual shallow boat. The 3-nitrophenyl substituent is in the synperiplanar orientation with respect to the dihydropyridine ring plane.
