Mi. Attaurrahman,"choudhary et al., STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY-RELATIONSHIPS OF IMPERIALINE DERIVATIVES AND THEIRANTICHOLINERGIC ACTIVITY, Planta medica, 64(2), 1998, pp. 172-174
In order to check the structure-activity relationship and prepare more
potent derivatives of imperialine with anticholinergic activity, impe
rialinol (2), 3 beta-acetoxyimperialine (3), 3 beta-propionoxyimperial
ine (4), and 3 beta-butyroxyimperialine (5) were prepared. Compounds 4
and 5 displayed better anticholinergic activity against muscarinic re
ceptors of the heart and brain than imperialine (1). The decrease in a
ctivity in 2 showed the importance of the 6-keto functionality in impa
rting the anticholinergic activity.
