Wj. Houlihan et al., STRUCTURAL MODIFICATION OF 5-ARYL-2,3-DIHYDROIMIDAZO[2,1-A]ISOQUINOLINE PLATELET-ACTIVATING-FACTOR RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS, Journal of medicinal chemistry, 36(21), 1993, pp. 3098-3102
In an effort to determine the effect of modification of the imidazo[2,
1-a]isoquinoline portion of the PAF-receptor antagonist SDZ 64-412 (1)
, several new analogs were prepared and evaluated in vitro and in vivo
. One of these, yl]-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]thieno[2,3-c]pyridine (6)
was 4-5 times more potent than 1 in inhibiting PAF-induced bronchocon
striction and hemoconcentration when administered po to the guinea pig
.
