Twenty alkanediamines were designed according to structure-activity relationships drawn from previous parts of this series and synthesized. Their general structure is CH3-(CH2)n-CHNH2-(CH2)m-CHNH2-(CH2)n-CH3, (n = 2-10; m = 3-6). Twelve of them inhibited the aggregation of human blood platelets in concentrations between 3-10 micromol/L halfmaximally (Born test, inducer collagen). With increasing m a decreasing n is necessary to achieve the optimum activity. In the most active compounds (7b, 7e, 7p) it is found that m + n = 9. When the nitrogen functions are hydroxyalkylated secondary amines with similar antiplatelet effects are obtained. The conversion of the amino groups into syndronimines is accompanied by the loss of activity. The bisethoxycarbonylderivatives of 7f and 7m (8f, 8m) exhibited antithrombotic effects in rats after oral administration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
