Synthesis and ocular effects of imidazole nitrolic acid and amidoxime esters
摘要:
Esters of 1-(H)-imidazole-5-nitrolic acid and 1-methyl-imidazole-5-carboxamide oxime were prepared to study the effect of esterification on the ocular effects of these compounds. Esterifications were performed with acid chloride. Acid chloride also reacts with the ring nitrogen of 1-(H)-imidazole-5-nitrolic acid, but the desired esters could be selectively prepared by adjustment of the reaction conditions. Esterification led to loss of the ocular effects exhibited by the parent compounds. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis and Ocular Effects of Imidazole Nitrolic Acids
摘要:
Novel 1-R-imidazole-2-nitrolic acids and 1-R-imidazole-5-nitrolic acids (R: H, Me, Bn) were synthesized from oximes by treatment with a mixture of fuming nitric acid and acetic acid. The effects of these potential nitric oxide-donating compounds were tested on ocular variables such as intraocular pressure and formation of cyclic guanosine-3,5 '-monophosphate in the incubation of porcine iris-ciliary body.
