Novel thiazole derivatives as inhibitors of superoxide production by human neutrophils: synthesis and structure-activity relationships.

Neutrophils have an important role in the self-defense systems of organisms through the production of superoxide. On the other hand, it has been proposed that abnormal amounts of superoxide produced by neutrophils are a serious factor in tissue injury. A series of novel thiazole derivatives was prepared and evaluated inhibitory effect on superoxide production by human neutrophils in vitro.

Synthesis and antiulcer activity of 4-substituted 8-[(2-benzimidazolyl)sulfinylmethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoli nes and related compounds.

A series of 4-substituted 8-[(2-benzimidazolyl)sulfinylmethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin es was synthesized and examined for their (H+ + K+)adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase)-inhibitory and antisecretory activities against histamine-induced gastric acid secretion in rats. Many compounds tested were potent inhibitors of (H+ + K+)ATPase. Most compounds showed antisecretory activity.

Studies on proton pump inhibitors. II. Synthesis and antiulcer activity of 8-[(2-benzimidazolyl)sulfinylmethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines and related compounds.

Many 8-[(2-benzimidazolyl)sulfinylmethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin e derivatives were synthesized and tested for their (H+ + K+)adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase)-inhibitory and antisecretory activities against histamine-induced gastric acid secretion in rats. These sulfinyl compounds were synthesized by the oxidation of the corresponding sulfides, which were obtained from the reaction of 8-chloromethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines and 2-mercaptobenzimidazoles in the presence of potassium carbonate. All compounds tested were potent inhibitors of (H+ + K+)ATPase.

Studies on proton pump inhibitors. I. Synthesis of 8-[(2-benzimidazolyl)sulfinyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolines and related compounds.

Many 8-[(2-benzimidazolyl)sulfinyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolines were synthesized and examined for their (H+ + K+) adenosine triphosphatase ATPase-inhibitory and antisecretory activities. These sulfinyl compounds could be considered to be rigid analogues of the 2-[(2-pyridyl)methylsulfinyl]benzimidazole class of antisecretory agents. All the compounds tested were potent inhibitors of (H+ + K+)ATPase.
