H. Marusawa et al., Synthesis and biological activity of 4-methyl-3,5-dioxane derivatives as thromboxane A(2) receptor antagonists, BIO MED CH, 7(11), 1999, pp. 2635-2645
The synthesis and biological activity of novel 4-methyl-3,5-dioxane analogu
es are described. All compounds were produced through modification of the s
ubstituent formally corresponding to the w-octenol side chain of thromboxan
e A(2) (TXA(2)), in reference to the structure of SQ29548. Several compound
s were found to be potent TXA(2) receptor antagonists. Compound 8b was the
most effective inhibitor of 9,11-epoxymethano PGH(2) (U-46619)-induced huma
n platelet aggregation (IC50 = 7.4 nM). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
