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.
