2-[(3-Pyridinylmethyl)thio]pyrimidine derivatives: New bronchosecretolytic agents
摘要:
2-[(3-Pyridinylmethyl)thio]pyrimidine derivatives (1a-n) promote the excretion of phenol red into the mouse trachea, indicating an increased tracheobronchial secretion. Furthermore, 2-[(3-pyridinylmethyl)thio]pyrimidine (1a) (tasuldine) produces greater excretion of phenol red into the mouse trachea after systemic administration than the known bronchosecretolytic ambroxol. Compound 1a also reduces the viscosity of canine bronchial mucus. Compound 1a has been selected for clinical investigations.
Studies on the Stereoselective Methylation of α-Sulfinyl Carbanions Generated from Three Isomeric Pyridylmethyl<i>p</i>-Tolyl Sulfoxides and Benzyl 2-Pyridyl Sulfoxide
A high stereoselectivity in the methylation of 2-pyridylmethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide (2a) with lithium diisopropylamide and iodomethane was observed at low temperature. The chelation of Li+ by both the nitrogen atom in the pyridine ring and the sulfinyl oxygen atom in 2a promotes the stereoselectivity as compared with isomeric sulfoxides.
