Objective(s) Calcium-channel blockers have an important role in the treatment of several cardiovascular disorders. Derivatives of 1, 4-dihydropyridine are one of the most potent calcium antagonists. In this study four novel ', 4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers were synthesized and their hypotensive properties were investigated in male rats. Materials and Methods Four 1, 4-dihydropyr...

New analogues of nifedipine, as a known calcium channel blocker, were synthesized by replacing the orthonitrophenyl group on position 4 with 1-(4-Nitrobenzyl)-5-imidazolyl or 2-methylthio-1-(4-Nitrobenzyl)-5-imidazolyl substituent. Effects of the new synthesized compounds on blood pressure were studied at 15, 30 and 60 min after administration by indirect tail-cuff method and compared with nife...

Reactions of 1 ,Zdihydropyridines (la-c) and 1,4-dihydropyridines (2a-c) in the presence of benzyne (3) under thermal conditions, and in the case of (2c) under photochemical conditions, have been investigated. Benzyne acts as an oxidizing agent to convert dihydropyridine (la) and (2a) to the corresponding pyridine (4) or adds as a dienophile to (lb-c).

Some Chromeno[4,3-b]quinoline derivatives were synthesized in a tricomponents one-pot reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadione arylaldehydes and 4-aminocoumarin under Microwave irradiation in the solventless system by using a heteropolyacid catalyst ,H3[PW12O40] in 80-95% yields and high rates. The shorter reaction times, one-pot, good yields, simple work-up procedure and environmentally friendly conditi...

The reactions of sec-aminodienyl esters 3 with acetylacetone (4) afforded N-alkyl 3-acetyl-4-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridines 5 and enamines 6, providing a new azaelectrocyclization reaction.

Efflux of cytotoxic agents mediated by P-glycoprotein is believed to be an important mechanism of multidrug resistance, which remains a serious limitation to successful chemotherapy in cancers such as metastatic breast cancer. A series of 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridines and corresponding aromatized 4-arylpyridines have been synthesized based on structure modifications of niguldipine to enhance mult...

The crucial role of L-type Ca2+ channels in the initiation of cardiac and smooth muscle contraction has made them major therapeutic targets for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. L-type channels share a common pharmacological profile, including high-affinity voltage- and frequency-dependent block by the phenylalkylamines, the benz(othi)azepines, and the dihydropyridines. These drugs are t...
