The synthesis and antihypertensive activity of novel 7-(cyclic amido)-6-hydroxy-5,5-di-methylthieno[3,2-b]pyrans and related compounds are described. The compounds were tested for oral antihypertensive activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and selected compounds were evaluated in vitro for increases in Rb-86 efflux in rabbit isolated mesenteric arteries. The effects on activity in SHR of lactam ring size, the presence of heteroatoms in the lactam ring, the relative stereochemistry at C-6 and C-7, and the substituents on the thiophene ring are examined. The best racemic compound in this series is 32, trans-5,6-dihydro-6-hydroxy-5,5-di-methyl-2-nitro-7-(2-oxopiperidin-1-yl)-5H-thieno[3,2-b]pyran, which is 10-fold more potent than cromakalim with an ED30 = 0.015 mg/kg in SHR. Compound 32 could be resolved and the antihypertensive activity determined to reside primarily in the (6S,7S)-(-)-enantiomer 41. Surprisingly, the elimination of water to give the enamides 50-52, thiophene isosteres of bimakalim, diminishes activity significantly.
