Novel 2-Amino-1,4-dihydropyridine Calcium Antagonists. I. Synthesis and Antihypertensive Effects of 2-Amino-1,4-dihydropyridine Derivatives Having Nitroxyalkoxycarbonyl Groups at 3- and/or 5-Position.
Novel 2-amino-1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives, which contain nitroxy-alkoxycarbonyl groups at the 3- and/or 5-position, were synthesized and their pharmaceutical effect was evaluated in spontaneously hypertensive rats. The structure-activity relationships are discussed in terms of potency, onset-rapidity, and duration of antihypertensive activity. Remarkably prolonged duration of antihypertensive action
