A practical preparation of various 2, 3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[3, 2-a]thieno[3, 2-d]-, [3, 4-d]-, and [2, 3-d]pyrimidin-5-one derivatives was developed starting from the corresponding aminothiopheneesters in two steps, and their chloro-substituted derivatives were prepared. These compounds were evaluated for gastric antisecretory activity in pylorus-ligated rats, compared to the anti-ulcer standard, cimetidine, and their structure-activity relationships are discussed.
2,3-Dihydro-5H-oxazolo[3,2-a]thieno[3,2-d]-(2a--d), [3,4-d]-(2e--h), and [2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives (2i,j) were synthesized and evaluated for gastric antisecretory activity. These analogues (2) were prepared stepwise starting from formylthiophenecarbamates (4). The structure-activity relationships of these compounds are discussed.
