Synthesis, ocular effects, and nitric oxide donation of imidazole amidoximes
摘要:
Novel 1-R-imidazole-5-amidoximes and I-R-5-cyano-imidazole-4-amidoximes (R: H, Me, Bn) were prepared from their corresponding nitriles and were tested for their efficacy to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in rabbits. The ability of these compounds to donate nitric oxide (NO) was studied by observing the stimulation of formation of cyclic guanosine-3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) in the incubation of porcine iris-ciliary body. In the incubation experiments, 1-methylimidazole-5-amidoxime and 1(H)-imidazole-4(5)-amidoxime stimulated formation of cGMP indicating NO donating ability of these compounds. 1-Methylimidazole-5-amidoxime lowered IOP significantly after intravitreal injection.

Imidazole-4(5)-carboxaldehyde and 4(5)-cyanoimidazole were N-benzylated and N-methylated using benzyl chloride and methyl iodide on zinc oxide (ZnO), alumina, and KF/alumina under basic conditions without solvent. Triethylamine (Et3N) or potassium carbonate was added as base in the reactions on ZnO and alumina. Imidazole-4(5)-carboxaldehyde was also benzylated on silica and carbon nanotubes. The effect
