Diphenylimidazole and diphenylthiazole derivatives were synthesized and tested as inhibitors of platelet aggregation in in vitro experiments with the rabbit. Diphenylthiazole derivatives (10) were more potent than diphenylimidazole derivatives (4) in inhibiting arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation of rabbit platelet-rich plasma. Two diphenylimidazole and eight diphenylthiazole derivatives were evaluated for ex vivo arachidonic acid and collagen-induced platelet aggregation inhibitory activity using guinea pigs. In these compounds, 4, 5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(1, 5-dimethyl-2-pyrrolyl)thiazole (10n) showed strong activity in vitro and ex vivo. The ex vivo activity of 10n was 200 times stronger than that of aspirin. The mechanism of the activity of 10n was the inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase.

A series of nine metal chloride hydrates (ZnCl2 center dot 2H(2)O, SnCl2 center dot 2H(2)O, CdCl2 center dot 2H(2)O, MnCl2 center dot 4H(2)O, CoCl2 center dot 6H(2)O, SrCl2 center dot 6H(2)O, NiCl2 center dot 6H(2)O, CrCl3 center dot 6H(2)O and CeCl3 center dot 7H(2)O) was investigated as mild and inexpensive Lewis acid catalysts to promote the multicomponent synthesis of triarylimidazoles. Reactions starting from benzil showed the best results when SnCl2 center dot 2H(2)O was used, while for benzoin as the starting material, CeCl3 center dot 7H(2)O was more efficient. All reactions were performed in EtOH as solvent. These catalysts were also successfully employed in the synthesis of triaryloxazoles.
