S. Sarac et al., SYNTHESIS, CHEMICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF SOME YL-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-OCTAHYDROQUINAZOLINE-2,5-DIONES, Die Pharmazie, 53(2), 1998, pp. 91-94
A series of yl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinazoline-2,5-diones were sy
nthesized by condensing urea with 1,3-cyclohexanedione and appropriate
aromatic aldehydes according to the Biginelli reaction. The structure
s of the compounds were confirmed by elementary and spectroscopic anal
ysis. The compounds synthesized were tested in vitro for their calcium
antagonistic activities. BaCl2-induced contractions of rat ileum were
inhibited dose-dependently. Compounds 3-8 exerted weak calcium antago
nistic activity on smooth muscles compared with the standard nicardipi
ne.
