Synthesis and pharmacological properties of N-(3-{3-(1-piperidinylmethyl)phenoxy}propyl)-2-(2-hydroxyethylthio)acetamide and related compounds as antiulcer agents. I.
N-Phenoxypropylacetamide derivatives were prepared and tested for antiulcer activity. These compounds exhibited both gastric acid antisecretory and cytoprotective properties. Structure-activity studies led to the identification of N-[3-(3-(1-piperidinylmethyl)phenoxy)propyl]-2-(2-hydroxyethylt hio)acetamide (8), which was selected for further development and clinical evaluation.
