[Preparation and analgesic activity of tetrahydroquinolines and tetrahydroisoquinolines].

A series of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines and of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines were synthesised and evaluated for analgesic activity by both hot-plate and acetic acid writhing methods in rats. Te most potent compound was 2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-quinolinol (IV i) which was shown to be 1/8 and 1/50 as active as morphine according to the employed assay. The analgesic activity was shown to be associated to a not selective action on the CNS.

Synthesis and antimycotic activity of some benzyloxyimino compounds.

Some benzyloxyimio compounds, related to oxiconazole and having a 1H-indole or 1H-benzimidazole moiety, have been synthesized and tested in vitro for their antimycotic activity against Candida tropicalis and C. albicans. The most active was showed to be 0-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-1-benzyl-5-nitro-1H-benzimidazole-2-carboxaldehyd e oxime (MIC: 25 micrograms/ml against both microorganisms). A structural feature important for the biological activity of the series appears to be presence of a benzimidazole nucleus substituted by an electron withdrawing group.

Antifungal Agents↗

[Naphthofuran derivatives with potential beta-adrenolytic activity].

1-(Naphtho[1,2-b]furan-2-yl)-2-(isopropylamino)ethanol (II) and 1-(naphtho[2,3-b]furan-2-yl)-2-(isopropylamino)ethanol (III) show low beta-adrenergic blocking activity and unlike the naphtho [2,1-b]furan derivatives (1,2) do not appear to give rise to metabolites with high beta-adrenoceptor inhibitory properties. The inclusion of the --OCH2-- moiety in an aromatic nucleus larger than the benzofuran system (bufuralol, Ro 3-3528) caused loss of the biological activity.

Adrenergic beta-Antagonists↗

[Hydrazines containing 1H-indene units].

Some derivatives of N'-(5-nitro-2-furoyl)-N2-(3-chloro-1H-indenyl-2-methylene)hydrazine (I) were synthesized and screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity. None was more active than the parent compound and the greater hydrophilic character was associated with loss of inhibitory activity against gram-negative bacteria.

[Preparation and beta adrenolytic activity of some derivatives of naphthol-[2,1-b]furan].

Some 1-(naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl)-2-(t-butylamino)ethanols were synthesized for possible beta-adrenergic receptor blockade. The compounds may be considered to be derived from naphthyloxypropanolamines, the side chain of which is partially included in a furan ring. The pharmacological profile of 1-(naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl)-2-(t-butylamine)ethanol (I b) is quite similar to that of propranolol without cardiac depressant properties.
