Adrenoceptor blocking agents. 2. 2-(.alpha.-Hydroxyarylmethyl)-3,3-dimethylaziridines, a new class of selective .beta.2-adrenoceptor antagonists

Abstract: Threo- and erythro-2-(alpha-hydroxybenzyl)-3,3-dimethylaziridines (1a and 1b) and threo-2-[alpha-hydroxy(2-naphthyl)methyl]- and 2-[alpha-hydroxy(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)]-3,3-dimethylaziridines (1d and 1c) have been prepared as conformationally restricted analogues of beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents like dichloroisoproterenol (DCI) and pronethalol. The aziridine analogues 1 except possibly 1c are competitive antagonists of isoproterenol-induced response on a guinea pig tracheal chain preparation and the order of… Show more

“…While stimulation of the beta1-adrenergic receptor is responsible for the inotropic (contractile) function of cardiac myocytes, it initially seemed counterintuitive that beta1-receptor antagonists such as bisoprolol, metoprolol, and carvedilol could improve HF symptoms and prolonged life in patients with HF [1, 16–19]. Cardiac myocyte toxicity through excessive beta1-stimulation in fact involves a cascade of intracellular biochemical events including intracellular calcium overload, programmed cell death (apoptosis), and remodeling of the extracellular matrix [18, 24].…”

“…Aziridines are a rich source of important pharmaceuticals and adrenoceptor blocking agents (1). Publications on the preparation of aziridine-2-carboxylic acid esters from shortchain 2-bromo-2,3-unsaturated or 2,3-dibromo ester are reported (2)(3)(4).…”
