Substituted N-(1-alkyl-3-hydroxy-4-piperidinyl)benzamides, their N-oxide forms, their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and stereochemically isomeric forms having gastrointestinal motility stimulating properties, compositions containing the same, and methods of treating warm-blooded animals suffering from motility disorders of the gastrointestinal system.
A series of compounds bearing 3′,4′,5′-trimethoxy module into the core structure of evodiamine were designed and synthesized. The synthesized compounds were screened in vitro for their antitumor potential. MTT results showed that compounds 14a–14c and 14i–14j had significant effects, with compound 14h being the most prominent, with an IC50 value of 3.3 ± 1.5 μM, which was lower than evodiamine and
