Synthesis and in vitro calcium antagonist activity of 4-aryl-7,7-dimethyl/1,7,7-trimethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinazoline-2,5-dione derivatives

In this study, a series of 4-aryl-7,7-dimethyl and 1,7,7-trimethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinazoline-2,5-diones (1-25) were synthesized by condensing urea or N-methylurea with 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione and appropriate aromatic aldehydes according to the Biginelli reaction. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by spectral data and elementary analysis. The calcium antagonist activity of the compounds was tested in vitro on isolated rat ileum and lamb carotid artery. Compounds 16 and 19 were the most active derivatives on isolated rat ileum compared with the standard nicardipine. On isolated aortic strips of lamb the calcium antagonist activity of compound 16 (maximum relaxant effect: 38.83+/-5.84%) was found as high as that of nicardipine (maximum relaxant effect: 35.50+/-4.16%) used as a reference drug.

Synthesis, structural elucidation and pharmacological properties of some 5-acetyl-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-(substituted phenyl)-2(1H) -pyrimidinones.

In this study, the synthesis of some new 5-acetyl-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-(substituted phenyl)-2(1H)-pyrimidinones has been reported. The compounds were prepared by the Biginelli reaction of acetylacetone with aromatic aldehydes and urea. The structures of the compounds were characterized by UV, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NRM, mass spectra and elementary analysis. The calcium antagonistic activity of these compounds was tested in vitro on rat ileum precontracted with 4 x 10(-3) M barium chloride.

Studies on synthesis, chromatographic resolution, and antiinflammatory activities of some 2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines and their condensed derivatives.

In this study, the synthesis of some new 2‐thioxo‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydropyrimidines and their condensed derivatives, thiazolo[3,2‐α] pyrimidines, are described. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H‐NMR, 13C‐NMR, and mass spectroscopy. The direct high‐performance liquid chromatographic separation of the compounds on derivatized cellulose chiral stationary phases such as cellulose tris(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) (OD), cellulose tris(4‐methylphenylcarbamate) (OG), and cellulose tris(4‐methylbenzoate) (OJ) was studied. All of the compounds were screened for their antiinflammatory activity and also investigated histopathologically. Compounds 3 and 1a were found to be the most promising antiinflammatory agents in this group.
