B. Lagu et al., Synthesis and evaluation of furo[3,4-d]pyrimidinones as selective alpha(1a)-adrenergic receptor antagonists, BIOORG MED, 10(2), 2000, pp. 175-178
Furo[3,4-d]pyrimidinones were found to be metabolites of dihydropyrimidinon
es such as 1a-b that are subtype-selective antagonists of the alpha(1a)-adr
energic receptor. A versatile synthesis that provides access to furo[3,4-d]
pyrimidinones in high yield and in enantiomerically pure forms is described
along with structure-activity relationships in the series. (C) 2000 Elsevi
