A. Nuhrich et al., SYNTHESIS AND INHIBITORY EFFECTS ON PLATELET-AGGREGATION OF 3-(2-THIENYL)- AND 3-(1-IMIDAZOLYL)-1,2-BENZISOXAOLE DERIVATIVES, European journal of medicinal chemistry, 29(1), 1994, pp. 75-83
A series of 3-(2-thienyl)- and 3-(1-imidazolyl)-1,2-benzisoxazoles as
well as some isomeric benzoxazoles were synthesized and tested in vitr
o for their inhibitory effect on arachidonic acid-induced human platel
et aggregation. The most active compound (7-methoxy-3-(2-thienyl)-1,2-
benzisoxazole 5c) was nearly 20-30-fold more potent than acetylsalicyl
ic acid in inhibiting platelet aggregation. Structure-activity relatio
nships within the series are briefly discussed.
