Separation of the enantiomers of anticonvulsant tricyclic pyrroloimidazolones by enantioselective HPLC. A chiral recognition model and a chiroptical study
摘要:
The enantiomers of several pyrrolobenzimidazolone and pyrroloimidazopyridine derivatives have been successfully resolved by HPLC on a Whelk-O 1 Chiral Stationary Phase superior to other CSPs. A chiral recognition model explained the substituent effects on the enantioselectivity and afforded correlation of the elution order of the enantiomers to their absolute configuration. The exciton coupling method was applied to the CD spectra of the isolated enantiomers to confirm their absolute configuration. Copyright (C) 1996 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd
Synthesis and anticonvulsant properties of 2,3,3a,4-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazol-1-ones
摘要:
A series of 2,3,3a,4-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazol-1-ones were synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in DBA/2 mice against sound-induced seizures and in rats against maximal electroshock-induced seizures. Most of the derivatives showed an anticonvulsant effect better than that of valproate, a commonly used anticonvulsant drug. Compound 3 possessed an anticonvulsant activity comparable to that of diphenylhydantoin in both tests and was selected for further studies. Structure-activity relationships are discussed.
