Cardiotonic agents. Synthesis and cardiovascular properties of novel 2-arylbenzimidazoles and azabenzimidazoles
摘要:
Novel 2-arylbenzimidazoles and azabenzimidazoles were synthesized, and their inotropic action was evaluated. Changes in left ventricular pressure, dP/dt max, were measured as an index of cardiac contractility. The structural features that impart optimal inotropic activity are presented. The most potent compounds were evaluated orally in conscious dogs with implanted Konigsberg pressure transducers. To investigate the mechanism of action, the most potent compounds were tested for their calcium-sensitizing properties and their potential for the inhibition of phosphodiesterase. Two compounds, 1 and 4 1, showed interesting in vitro and oral activity without side effects. They have a more potent calcium-sensitizing effect than MCI-154 and are under futher investigation.

Quaternization of azido-N-heteroarenes with Meerwein reagent: A straightforward synthesis of 2-azido(benzo)imidazolium and related azido-N-heteroarenium tetrafluoroborates
2-Azido(benzo)imidazolium salts have been made through quaternization of 2-Azido(benzo)imidazoles with Meerwein reagent at ambient conditions. This one-pot protocol is also applicable to 4 or 3-azidopyridines and appropriate azido(iso)quinolines to prepare correlative azido-N-heteroarenium salts. When compared with their precursors, improved diazotransfer reactivity was observed for several representative
