N-acyl-4,7,7-trimethyl-N-phenyl-3-(1-piperidinyl or dimethylamino)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene-2-carbothioamides with platelet antiaggregating and other activities

Abstract

A series of N-acyl-4,7,7-trimethyl-N-phenyl-3-(1-piperidinyl or dimethylamino)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene-2-carbothioamides was prepared in excellent yields by reaction of 4,7,7-trimethyl-N-phenyl-3-(1-piperidinyl or dimethylamino)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene-2-carbothioamides with a number of aromatic or heterocyclic acyl chlorides in dry pyridine solution and in the presence of sodium hydride. Some of the above compounds showed a platelet antiaggregating activity in vitro superior or comparable to that of acetylsalicylic acid; moreover, some compounds exhibited moderate analgesic, antiinflammatory and hypotensive activities in mice or rats.
