N-Alkylephedrines were synthesized by heating a mixture of ephedrine and alkyl bromide under pressure. The alkylation proceeded with decreasing yield of the desired substance as the number of carbons of alkyl bromide increased, and there was, in the end, no yield at C5, viz., amyl bromide. With alkyl bromides of higher moleculer weight than amyl, the alkylation was successfully carried out by the addition of equimolar amount of pulverized KOH. The N-alkylephedrines thus obtained were converted to the ammonium salts with methyl or ethyl iodide. The pharmacological effects of the compounds synthesized were examined by the Magnus method and these effects were compared with that of l-ephedrine. Among these compounds, N-butyl-, N-hexyl-, N-heptylephedrines, and dimethylbutyl-(β-phenyl-β-hydroxyisopropyl) ammonium iodide were found to have pharmacological effects almost equal to that of l-ephedrine, in the balance of inhibitory effect on tonic contractions by acetylcholine, histamine, and barium chloride.
N-烷基麻黄碱是通过在压力下加热麻黄碱和烷基溴的混合物来合成的。随着烷基溴的碳数增加,烷基化进行,所需物质的收率降低,并且最终没有产生C5即戊基溴。对于分子量高于戊基的烷基溴,通过添加等摩尔量的粉状KOH成功地进行烷基化。将由此获得的N-烷基麻黄碱用甲基或乙基碘转化成铵盐。通过马格努斯法检测了合成的化合物的药理作用,并与l-麻黄碱的药理作用进行了比较。在这些化合物中,发现N-丁基-、N-己基-、N-庚基麻黄碱和二甲基丁基-(β-苯基-β-羟基异丙基)碘化铵的药理作用几乎与L-麻黄碱相同,平衡乙酰胆碱、组胺和氯化钡对强直收缩的抑制作用。
