Trequinsin, a potent new antihypertensive vasodilator in the series of 2-(arylimino)-3-alkyl-9,10-dimethoxy-3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-pyrimido[6,1-a]isoquinolin-4-ones
摘要:
Series of 3-substituted-9,10-dimethoxy-3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-pyrimido [6,1-a]isoquinoline-2,4-diones and 2-substituted-9,10-dimethoxy-6,7-dihydro-4H-pyrimido [6,1-a]isoquinolin-4-ones were synthesized and tested for blood pressure lowering properties in anesthetized normotensive cats and conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats. Several compounds in the 2-(arylamino)-9,10-dimethoxy-6,7-dihydro-4H-pyrimido [6,1-a]isoquinolin-4-one series display a high order of activity. The most active compounds are the alkyl derivatives of the 2-mesitylamino/2-mesitylimino tautomeric forms. The 2-(mesitylimino)-3-methyl analogue trequinsin is a potent antihypertensive agent and displays a hemodynamic profile characteristic of an arteriolar dilator. It is also a potent inhibitor of both cAMP phosphodiesterase and platelet aggregation.
What are disclosed are pyrimido (6,1-a)isoquinolin-4-one compounds useful as hypotensive agents, bronchodilators, and anti-allergenics, intermediates useful in their preparation, and methods for making the compounds and intermediates.
