Structure-activity relationships for 2-substituted imidazoles as .alpha.2-adrenoceptor antagonists
摘要:
Several 2-[(1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl)alkyl]imidazoles were prepared and evaluated for their blocking activity and relative selectivity on presynaptic (alpha 2) and postsynaptic (alpha 1) receptors in the isolated rat vas deferens. 1-Ethyl-2-[(1,4-benzodioxan 2-yl)methyl]imidazole (13) was the most selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist of the series and was, for practical purposes, devoid of alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist activity. The lipophilicity of 13 (log D = 2.31) indicated that it would have an excellent chance to enter the central nervous system. Compound 13 was selected for clinical evaluation as an antidepressant agent.

Compounds of the formula ##STR1## and the pharmaceutically acceptable, non-toxic salts thereof, wherein: R is hydrogen, lower alkyl, or benzyl; X is a substitution for hydrogen at any position in the benzene ring and is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, lower alkoxyl, benzyl and halo; m is an integer from 0 to 4; and n is an integer from 0 to 2; are novel. These compounds have been shown to be .alpha..sub.2 blockers, and are, therefore, anti-depressants.

2-(1,4-Benzodioxan-2-ylalkyl)imidazoles having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, and alkyl (1-6C), and wherein n is an integer equal to 0, 1 or 2, and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, are .alpha..sub.2 blockers and thus are useful as affectors of the CNS, specifically as platelet aggregation inhibitors and as antihypertensives.
2-(1,4-Benzodioxan-2-ylalkyl)imidazoles having the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, optionally substituted phenyl, and optionally substituted phenyl lower alkyl; R.sup.3 is hydrogen, alkyl, or optionally substituted phenyl lower alkyl; n is an integer equal to 0, 1 or 2; with the proviso that R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 cannot all be hydrogen and/or alkyl; and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, are useful as antidepressants.
