The series of vasicine ( 1 ) analogues, an alkaloid from Adhatoda vasica Nees., were synthesized with changes in A, B or C rings. Compounds 13-19 were evaluated for in vitro bronchodilatory activity using isolated guinea pig tracheal chain. Compounds 3-8 were also synthesized in good yields using microwave-mediated synthesisundersolventfreeconditions. Compounds 5 and 8 with seven-member C ring
