Synthesis and biological activity of 17-azasteroidal neuromuscular-blocking agents
摘要:
The new analogues, containing nitrogen at the 17-position instead of the 17a-position, of chandonium iodide 2 have been prepared and evaluated for potential neuromuscular-blocking activity in in vitro studies using chick-biventer cervicis preparations. There is a slight increase in the interonium distance between the 2 quaternary heads of 13(DPJ-240). All the bisquatemary compounds 13 (DPJ-240), 14 (DPJ-252), 15 (DPJ-262), 16 (DPJ-260) and 17 (DPJ-261) showed potent neuromuscular-blocking activity but slightly less than chandonium iodide 2. Monoquaternary ammonium derivatives 12 (DPJ-246), 21 (DPJ-245), 23 (DPJ-246) and 24 (DPJ-243) of 17-azasteroids were also synthesized and pharmacologically tested. They exhibited weak neuromuscular-blocking activity as compared to the bisquatemary compounds and chandonium iodide 2.
