Some Ph-ring-substituted phenacylthioimidazolines are very potent antagonists of reserpine-induced hypothermia in mice. The proportion of open chain to cyclic carbinolamine tautomer depends on the type of substituent and possibly affects the activity. [1][2][3][4][5][6] thiazoles obtained by cyclodehydration are also active.
The syntheses and structure--activity relationships of a number of 4-hydroxy-3-nitrocoumarins, which are both antagonists of a slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis and potent inhibitors of antigen-induced histamine release in the rat, are described. Most active among these are 7-[3-(4-acetyl-3-hydroxy-2-n-propylphenoxy(-2-hydroxypropoxy] derivatives having hydrogen or lower alkyl substituents at the C-8 position of the coumarin ring, 168, 171, 173, and 174.
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.
