Chemical and biological properties of 2-pyridyl-benzyl-carbinol.

Three isomers of pyridylbenzylcarbinol were synthetized and their chemical properties and biological activity were studied. Clear dependence between chemical structure and antitumor activity was observed. As expected most active appeared 2-pyridylbenzylcarbinol (alpha-carbinol). It showed significant antitumor activity against subcutaneous tumors of Ehrlich carcinoma. Nemeth-Kellner lymphoma and sarcoma 180. On a chronic treatment schedule tumor inhibition from 60 to 80% was induced. No activity was seen in L1210 and P388 models. In B16 melanoma the significant inhibition of tumor growth was obtained at 200 mg/kg/injection. Tumor inhibitory effect was also observed in Yoshida sarcoma. Depending on a dose and schedule the increase in lifespan from 45 to 147% was achieved. LD50 and MTD were determined and were 750 +/- 87.65 mg/kg and 557.8 mg/kg, respectively. Only slight suppressive effect of alpha-carbinol on immunological system was showed. It concerned mainly immunological reactions with cellular system involved, in which distinct suppressive effects were noted. Specific and nonspecific humoral reactivity was little or not at all affected by alpha-carbinol.

Synthesis and pharmacological properties of new pyridine derivatives.2,6-bis-[diphenyl-(and dibenzyl)-hydroxymethyl]-piperidines.

Syntheses of 2,6-bis-(diphenylhydroxymethyl)-, 2,6-bis-(dibenzylhydroxymethyl)- and 2,6-bis-(phenylbenzylhydroxymethyl)-pyridines were carried out. These compound were hydrogenated to the corresponding piperidine carbinols. The compounds are of low toxicity and were tested on mice for their CNS activity, using climbing test. 2,6-bis-(dibenzylhydroxymethyl)-piperidine (VI) exhibited central depressive activity.

Synthesis and biological activity of pyrazo-[3,4-b]-pyridine derivatives. Part I.

3 (3'-Morpholino-2'-hydroxypropoxy)--7--9 as well as 3 (3'-morpholino-2'-hydroxypropyloamino) 14 -- 16 derivatives of 1-methyl and 1-phenyl pyrazo-[3,4-b]-pyridines were prepared and screened for expected circulatory activity. Compounds 7, 11--14, 20 mg/kg, produced hypotension in cats; Compounds 7 and 14, 50--80 mg/kg, had antiarrhytmic action in BaCl2 -- induced arrhytmic in the rabbit.

Synthesis of new 4 and 5 disubstituted isothiazoles.

Synthesis of 24 new 4 and 5 substituted isothiazole derivatives, containing hydrazine and amino groups at the position 5, and carboxyl, ester, amide, hydrazide, nitrile or ureido group in the position 4 is described. Compounds 4, 6, 8 and 19 show antiinflammatory activity, compound 14 has antiaggregatory properties.

Synthesis and biological properties of pyrazo-[3,4-B]-pyridine derivatives. II.

By aminoalkylation with diethylaminoethyl chloride of 3-hydroxypyrazo-[3,4-b]-pyridine 1 and its phenyl derivative 2 as well as 3-aminopyrazo-[3,4-b]-pyridine 7 and its phenyl derivative 8, basic ethers 5, 6 and aminoalkanoloamines 9 and 10 have been obtained. Compounds 5, 6 and 10 increased coronary blood flow of the isolated cat heart. At the concentration of 5 +/- 2 mg/ml shoved spasmolytic activity.
