Synthesis by microwave irradiation of a substituted benzoxazine parallel library with preferential relaxant activity for guinea pig trachealis

Eur J Med Chem. 2004 Oct;39(10):815-26. doi: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2004.05.003.

Abstract

An efficient, facile, and practical parallel combinatorial synthesis of substituted-benzoxazines under microwave irradiation was described. The procedure involved the use of a microwave oven especially designed for organic synthesis suitable for parallel synthesis of solution libraries. A demonstration 19-membered library of substituted N,N-dimethyl- and N-methyl-benzoxazine amide derivatives, structurally related to the potassium channel opener cromakalim, was generated by both conventional and microwave procedures, achieving a reduction from 7 h to 30-36 min in library generation time for the microwave approach. All the synthesized compounds were tested using the in vitro models of rat aorta and guinea pig trachea rings pre-contracted with phenylephrine and carbachol, respectively. All N,N-dimethyl amide derivatives showed a relaxant activity higher on guinea pig trachea rings than on rat aorta rings.
