Cerebral protective agents. Preparation and Pharmacological Evaluation of 4-(1,4-Benzoquinon-2-yl)-4-phenylbutanamides as Potential Cerebral Protective Agents.
A new series of 4-(1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-4-phenylbutanamides (2) were synthesized for evaluation of their pharmacological activities. All these compounds synthesized showed significant antilipidperoxidation (ALP) activities with brain homogenate in rats and some of them possessed a protective effect against hypobaric hypoxia in mice. Especially, a thiomorpholine derivative (2l, SUN-4757) showed a wide
