With the aim of discovering new molecules with K+-channel activating properties, we have synthesized derivatives of cromakalim (CRK), an important molecule which shows specific affinity towards K+ channels, by replacing the benzopyrane ring of this reference compound with a 1,4-benzoxazine moiety. A different number of substituents showing a good discrimination between hydrophobic and electronic properties have been inserted at the 6-position of the 1,4-benzoxazine ring. We describe here the synthesis and discuss the solid state conformation of these new molecules. When tested on rat aorta ring precontracted with phenylephrine, two compounds (2c and 2d) showed a concentration-dependent relaxation similar to that measured for cromakalim but less potent than this reference drug.
