Abstract
The enantiomers of xybenzylamino)-2-hydroxypropoxy]-2(1H)-quinolinone (OPC-18790), a novel cardiotonic agent, were synthesized and evaluated for positive inotropic activity. The key intermediates, 2,3-epoxyprop oxy derivatives, were obtained by the alkylation of 6-hydroxy-2(1H)-qu inolinone with optically active epichlorohydrin and subsequent ring cl osure. In an in vitro study, the (R)-(+)-isomer was about id-fold more potent than the (S)-(-)-isomer.
