- Synthesis and evaluation of paeonol derivatives as potential multifunctional agents for the treatment of alzheimer's disease
-
(A.H.); Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder characterized by memory loss, language impairment, personality changes and intellectual decline. Taking into account the key pathological features of AD, such as low levels of acetylcholine, beta-amyloid (Aβ) aggregation, oxidative stress and dyshomeostasis of biometals, a new series of paeonol derivatives 5a-5d merging three different functions, i.e., antioxidant, anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, metal chelating agents for AD treatment have been synthesized and characterized. Biological assays revealed that compared with paeonol (309.7 μM), 5a-5d had a lower DPPH IC50 value (142.8-191.6 μM). 5a-5d could significantly inhibit hydrogen peroxide-induced neuronal PC12 cell death assessed by MTT assay in the concentration range of 5-40 μM. AChE activity was effectively inhibited by 5a-5d, with IC50 values in the range of 0.61-7.04 μM. 5a-5d also exhibited good metal-chelating ability. All the above results suggested that paeonol derivatives may be promising multifunctional agents for AD treatment.

- Synthesis and evaluation of aryl substituted propyl piperazines for potential atypical antipsychotic activity
-
Background: Schizophrenia is a disorder with complex etiology with hyperdopaminer-gia as the leading underlying cause. Atypical antipsychotics are the agents which do not give rise to significant extrapyramidal side effects and are more effective against negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Introduction: A new series of chloro-substituted substituted aryloxypiperazine derivatives and their indole based derivatives was designed and evaluated for atypical antipsychotic activity based on established models for combined dopaminergic and serotonergic antagonism. Method: The present series of compounds were designed based on 3D similarity studies, synthesized and evaluated for atypical antipsychotic activity in animal models for combined dopaminer-gic and serotonergic antagonism. The blood-brain barrier penetration potential was assessed from theoretical log BB values computed through an online software program. Results: Theoretical ADME profiling of the designed compounds based on selected physicochem-ical parameters suggested excellent compliance with Lipinski’s rules. The log BB values obtained for the compounds suggested a good potential for brain permeation. Indole substitution contributed towards an improved efficacy over aryloxy analogs. Lead compounds showed a potential for combined dopaminergic and serotonergic antagonism. Conclusion: The 5-methoxy indole based compounds 16 and 17 were identified as the lead compounds displaying a potential atypical antipsychotic profile.

- Further SAR studies on natural template based neuroprotective molecules for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
-
In our earlier paper, we described ferulic acid (FA) template based novel series of multifunctional cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors for the management of AD. This report has further extended the structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies of this series of molecules in a calibrated manner to improve upon the ChEs inhibition and antioxidant property to identify the novel potent multifunctional molecules. To investigate the effect of replacement of phenylpiperazine ring with benzylpiperazine, increase in the linker length between FA and substituted phenyl ring, and replacement of indole moiety with tryptamine on this molecular template, three series of novel molecules were developed. All synthesized compounds were tested for their acetyl and butyryl cholinestrases (AChE and BChE) inhibitory properties. Enzyme inhibition and PAS binding studies identified compound 13b as a lead molecule with potent inhibitor property towards AChE/BChE (AChE IC50 = 0.96 ± 0.14 μM, BChE IC50 = 1.23 ± 0.23 μM) compared to earlier identified lead molecule EJMC-G (AChE IC50 = 5.74 ± 0.13 μM, BChE IC50 = 14.05 ± 0.10 μM, respectively). Molecular docking and dynamics studies revealed that 13b fits well into the active sites of AChE and BChE, forming stable and strong interactions with key residues Trp86, Ser125, Glu202, Trp 286, Phe295, Tyr 337 in AChE, and with Trp 82, Gly115, Tyr128, and Ser287 in BChE. The compound, 13b was found to be three times more potent antioxidant in a DPPH assay (IC50 = 20.25 ± 0.26 μM) over the earlier identified EJMC-B (IC50 = 61.98 ± 0.30 μM) and it also was able to chelate iron. Co-treatment of 13b with H2O2, significantly attenuated and reversed H2O2-induced toxicity in the SH-SY5Y cells. The parallel artificial membrane permeability assay-blood brain barrier (PAMPA-BBB) revealed that 13b could cross BBB efficiently. Finally, the in-vivo efficacy of 13b at dose of 10 mg/kg in scopolamine AD model has been demonstrated. The present study strongly suggests that the naturally inspired multifunctional molecule 13b may behave as a potential novel therapeutic agent for AD management.

- Discovery of Novel Apigenin-Piperazine Hybrids as Potent and Selective Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase-1 (PARP-1) Inhibitors for the Treatment of Cancer
-
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a potential target for the discovery of chemosensitizers and anticancer drugs. Amentoflavone (AMF) is reported to be a selective PARP-1 inhibitor. Here, structural modifications and trimming of AMF have led to a series of AMF derivatives (9a-h) and apigenin-piperazine/piperidine hybrids (14a-p, 15a-p, 17a-h, and 19a-f), respectively. Among these compounds, 15l exhibited a potent PARP-1 inhibitory effect (IC50 = 14.7 nM) and possessed high selectivity to PARP-1 over PARP-2 (61.2-fold). Molecular dynamics simulation and the cellular thermal shift assay revealed that 15l directly bound to the PARP-1 structure. In in vitro and in vivo studies, 15l showed a potent chemotherapy sensitizing effect against A549 cells and a selective cytotoxic effect toward SK-OV-3 cells through PARP-1 inhibition. 15l·2HCl also displayed good ADME characteristics, pharmacokinetic parameters, and a desirable safety margin. These findings demonstrated that 15l·2HCl may serve as a lead compound for chemosensitizers and the (BRCA-1)-deficient cancer therapy.

- Development of 2-amino-4-phenylthiazole analogues to disrupt myeloid differentiation factor 88 and prevent inflammatory responses in acute lung injury
-
Myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88), an essential adapter protein used by toll-like receptors (TLR), is a promising target molecule for the treatment of respiratory inflammatory diseases. Previous studies explored the activities of novel 2-amino-4-phenylthiazole analogue (6) in inflammation-induced cancer, and identified the analogue as an inhibitor of MyD88 toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) homology domain dimerization. Here, we describe the synthesis of 47 new analogues by modifying different sites on this lead compound and assessed their anti-inflammatory activities in lipopolysaccharide-induced mouse primary peritoneal macrophages (MPMs). The most promising compound, 15d, was found to effectively interact with MyD88 protein and prevented formation of the MyD88 homodimeric complex. Furthermore, 15d showed in vivo anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-caused model of acute lung injury. This work provides new candidates as MyD88 inhibitors to combat inflammation diseases.

- Design, synthesis, and evaluation of genipin derivatives for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease
-
Twenty-two novel genipin derivatives have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE). As a result, compound 13a bearing ligustrazine moiety displayed the most potent AChE inhibitory activity in this series with IC50 value of 218?nm. Besides, MTT assay was performed to investigate the neuroprotection of these compounds against PC12 cells injured by Amyloid β-protein 1–42 (Aβ1–42). Among them, 8a showed higher inhibition rate (%Inhibition?=?22.29) than the positive reference Donepezil (%Inhibition?=?17.65).

- The synthesis and biological evaluation of novel gardenamide A derivatives as multifunctional neuroprotective agents
-
A novel series of gardenamide A derivatives was synthesized as potential anti-Alzheimer's disease agents. The neuroprotective effects of these multifunctional agents against oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced neurotoxicity in rat cortical neurons, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)- A nd amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ1-42)-induced neurotoxicity in rat hippocampal neurons were evaluated. In vitro studies revealed that these compounds demonstrated moderate to good multifunctional neuroprotective activity. Among the entire series, compounds 10e, 10j, 10n and 10p appeared to be the most active multifunctional neuroprotective agents. Studies indicate that compounds 10e, 10f, 10h, 10i, 10j, 10n and 10p exhibit significant activities against OGD-induced neurotoxicity in rat cortical neurons, and 10e, 10j, 10n and 10p show prominent activities against H2O2- A nd Aβ1-42-induced neurotoxicity in rat hippocampal neurons. Moreover, these derivatives did not exert conspicuous neurotoxicity in rat cortical neurons. Thus, the present study evidently shows that 10e, 10j, 10n and 10p are potent multifunctional neuroprotective agents, which may serve as promising lead candidates for anti-Alzheimer's disease drug development.

- New potent antifungal triazole alcohols containing N-benzylpiperazine carbodithioate moiety: Synthesis, in vitro evaluation and in silico study
-
A number of 1H-1,2,4-triazole alcohols containing N-(halobenzyl)piperazine carbodithioate moiety have been designed and synthesized as potent antifungal agents. In vitro bioassays against different Candida species including C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. parapsilosis, C. krusei, and C. tropicalis revealed that the N-(4-chlorobenzyl) derivative (6b) with MIC values of 0.063–0.5 μg/mL had the best profile of activity, being 4–32 times more potent than fluconazole. Docking simulation studies confirmed the better fitting of compound 6b in the active site of lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) enzyme, the main target of azole antifungals. Particularly, the potential of compound 6b against fluconazole-resistant isolates along with its minimal toxicity against human erythrocytes and HepG2 cells make this prototype compound as a good lead for discovery of potent and safe antifungal agents.

- Design, synthesis and neuroprotective activities of novel cinnamide derivatives containing benzylpiperazine moiety
-
A new series of cinnamide derivatives 6a–l were synthesized by the reaction of acyl chlorides with various substituted benzylpiperazines. The structures were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. The potential neuroprotective activities of cinnamide analogs were evaluated in differentiated rat pheochromocytoma cells (PC12 cells) and in mice subjected to acute cerebral ischemia. Among the series, 6a, 6b, and 6c, featuring a 1,3-benzodioxole moiety, showed potent neuroprotection both in vivo and in vitro. The three compounds were selected and further studied to determine their mechanism of action. MTT assay, Hoechst 33342/PI double staining, and high content screening (HCS) revealed that pretreatment of the cells with 6a, 6b, and 6c has significantly decreased the extent of cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. The results of western blot analysis demonstrated these compounds suppressed apoptosis of glutamate-induced PC12 cells via caspase-3 pathway. These compounds can be lead compounds for further discovery of neuroprotective agents for treating cerebral ischemic stroke.

- Design, Synthesis, and Cytotoxic Evaluation of Certain 7-Chloro-4-(piperazin-1-yl)quinoline Derivatives as VEGFR-II Inhibitors
-
Signaling pathway inhibition of VEGFR-II is visualized as valuable tool in cancer management. In the current study, the synthesis of novel 1-4-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)piperazin-1-yl)-2-(N-substituted-amino)-ethanone derivatives (4a–t) was achieved through the amination of 2-chloro-1-(4-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)piperazin-1-yl)ethanone (3) with different secondary amines. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, HRMS, and microanalysis. Compounds 4a–t were subjected to in vitro anticancer screening against human breast cancer (MCF-7) and prostate cancer (PC3) cell lines. The highest cytotoxicty against both cell lines was displayed by 2-(4-(4-bromobenzyl)piperazin-1-yl)-1-(4-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)piperazin-1-yl)ethanone (4q), with IC50 values of 6.502 and 11.751 μM against MCF-7 and PC3 cells, respectively, compared with the standard drug doxorubicin (MCF-7: 6.774 μM, PC3: 7.7316 μM). Due to its notable activity toward MCF-7 cells, 4q was further evaluated as VEGFR-II inhibitor, showing an IC50 of 1.38 μM compared to sorafenib (0.33 μM). The docking study proved that 4q has a binding mode akin to that of VEGFR-II inhibitors.

- Syntheses, biological activities and SAR studies of novel carboxamide compounds containing piperazine and arylsulfonyl moieties
-
A series of novel carboxamide compounds 19a-19j, 20a-20j and 22a-22d containing piperazine and arylsulfonyl moieties have been synthesized. The bioassay results showed that some compounds exhibited favorable herbicidal activities against dicotyledonous plants and many of them possessed excellent antifungal activities. Among 24 novel compounds, some showed superiority over the commercial fungicides Chlorothalonil, Dimethomorph, Thiophanate-methyl, Iprodione, and Zhongshengmycin at 500 mg/L concentration. Some compounds also exhibited high KARI inhibitory activity at 100 γ1/4g/mL concentration and could be used as new KARI lead inhibitors for further studies. Moreover, SAR of these new compounds were comprehensively investigated using different computational methods in which 3D-QSAR model obtained provided useful information for further structural optimization for the discovery of new fungicides. The results of this research will contribute to explore comprehensive biological activities of piperazine-containing compounds in different areas of chemistry.

- Design, synthesis and bioactivity of novel phthalimide derivatives as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors
-
A series of novel phthalimide derivatives related to benzylpiperazine were synthesized and evaluated as cholinesterase inhibitors. The results showed that all compounds were able to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE), with two of them dramatically inhibiting butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). Most compounds exhibited potent anti-AChE activity in the range of nM concentrations. In particular, compounds 7aIII and 10a showed the most potent activity with the IC50 values of 18.44 nM and 13.58 nM, respectively. To understand the excellent activity of these compounds, the structure-activity relationship was further examined. The protein-ligand docking study demonstrated that the target compounds have special binding modes and these results are in agreement with the kinetic study.

- Synthesis and Biological Activity of Novel Furan/Thiophene and Piperazine-Containing (Bis)1,2,4-triazole Mannich Bases
-
Series of novel furan/thiophene and piperazine-containing 1,2,4-triazole Mannich bases and bis(1,2,4-triazole) Mannich bases have been conveniently synthesized via Mannich reaction with triazole Schiff bases, various piperazine derivatives, and formaldehyde as intermediates in good yields. Their structures were characterized by melting points, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and elemental analysis. The preliminary bioassay showed that most compounds exhibited significant in vitro and in vivo fungicidal activity against several test plant fungi. Among 32 new compounds, the trifluoromethyl-containing compounds showed superior activity than the methyl-containing ones. Several compounds, such as F8, F9, F10, G5, H7, H8, I3 and I4, were comparable with some commercial fungicides against different fungi during the present study and could be further structurally optimized. Meanwhile, several compounds showed good herbicidal activity against Brassica campestris at 100 μg/mL and KARI inhibitory activity at 200 μg/mL. However, compounds exhibited poor insecticidal activity against oriental armyworm at 200 μg/mL in the preliminary studies. The research results will provide useful information for the design and discovery of new agrochemicals with novel heterocyclic structures.

- Synthesis and bioactive evaluations of novel benzotriazole compounds as potential antimicrobial agents and the interaction with calf thymus DNA
-
A novel series of benzotriazole derivatives were synthesized and characterized by NMR, IR and MS spectra. The bioactive assay manifested that most of the new compounds exhibited moderate to good antibacterial and antifungal activities against the tested strains in comparison to reference drugs chloromycin, norfloxacin and fluconazole. Especially, 2,4-dichlorophenyl substituted benzotriazole derivative 6f displayed good antibacterial activity against MRSA with MIC value of 4 μg/mL, which was 2-fold more potent than Chloromycin, and it also displayed 3-fold stronger antifungal activity (MIC = 4 μg/mL) than fluconazole (MIC = 16 μg/mL) against Beer yeast. The preliminary interactive investigations of compound 6f with calf thymus DNA revealed that compound 6f could effectively intercalate into DNA to form compound 6f-DNA complex which might block DNA replication to exert antimicrobial activities. Molecular docking experiments suggested that compound 6f projected into base-pairs of DNA hexamer duplex forming two hydrogen bonds with guanine of DNA. The theoretical calculations were in accordance with the experimental results.

- Gas-phase chemistry of benzyl cations in dissociation of N-Benzylammonium and N-benzyliminium ions studied by mass spectrometry
-
In this study, the fragmentation reactions of various N-benzylammonium and N-benzyliminium ions were investigated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. In general, the dissociation of N-benzylated cations generates benzyl cations easily. Formation of ion/neutral complex intermediates consisting of the benzyl cations and the neutral fragments was observed. The intra-complex reactions included electrophilic aromatic substitution, hydride transfer, electron transfer, proton transfer, and nucleophilic aromatic substitution. These five types of reactions almost covered all the potential reactivities of benzyl cations in chemical reactions. Benzyl cations are well-known as Lewis acid and electrophile in reactions, but the present study showed that the gas-phase reactivities of some suitably ring-substituted benzyl cations were far richer. The 4-methylbenzyl cation was found to react as a Bronsted acid, benzyl cations bearing a strong electron-withdrawing group were found to react as electron acceptors, and parahalogen- substituted benzyl cations could react as substrates for nucleophilic attack at the phenyl ring. The reactions of benzyl cations were also related to the neutral counterparts. For example, in electron transfer reaction, the neutral counterpart should have low ionization energy and in nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction, the neutral counterpart should be piperazine or analogues. This study provided a panoramic view of the reactions of benzyl cations with neutral N-containing species in the gas phase. American Society for Mass Spectrometry, 2012.

A series of novel 1,4-disubstituted piperidine/piperazine derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro activities against HIV-1 Bal (R5) infection in CEMX174 5.25M7 cells. A majority of these compounds showed potent anti-HIV-1 activities with IC50 at nanomolar levels. N-(4-Fluoro-benzyl)piperazine analog B07 hydrochloride exhibited potency against HIV-1 activity similar to that of TAK-220 hydrochloride, but it had much better water solubility (25 mg/ml in phosphate sodium buffer at 25 °C) and oral bioavailability (56%) than TAK-220 hydrochloride (a solubility of 2 mg/ml and oral bioavailability of 1.4%). These results suggest that B07 hydrochloride may serve as a better lead for the development of new anti-HIV-1 therapies or microbicides for treatment and prevent of HIV-1 infection.

- Exploration of (S)-3-aminopyrrolidine as a potentially interesting scaffold for discovery of novel Abl and PI3K dual inhibitors
-
Based on the literature-reported compensatory effect of PI3K on Abl inhibition and the improved preclinical effect of drug combination of Abl and PI3K inhibitors, a series of compounds bearing novel scaffold of (S)-3-aminopyrrolidine was identified as Abl and PI3K dual inhibitors through support vector machine screening tool, which were subsequently synthesized and tested. Most compounds demonstrated promising cytoxicity against a CML leukemia cell-line K562 and moderate inhibition against Abl and PI3K kinases. These compounds induced no apoptosis in K562 cell-line, suggesting that their cytotoxic activities are unlikely duo to other known anti-CML mechanisms. Molecular docking study further showed that the compound 5k could bind with both Abl and PI3K, but the weaker binding with Abl compared to Imatinib is consistent with its low kinase inhibitory rates. These plus literature-reported evidences suggest that the promising cytotoxic effect of our novel compounds might be due to the collective effect of Abl and PI3K inhibition.

A series of novel Mannich bases with trifluoromethyl-1,2,4-triazole and substituted benzylpiperazine moieties were synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The single crystal structure of compound 4r was also determined. The preliminary bioassays showed that most of the lead compounds had low herbicidal activity against Brassica campestris, Echinochloa crusgalli, and KARI enzyme. However, most of them exhibited significant fungicidal activity at the dosage of 50μg/mL toward five test fungi. Among the 18 novel compounds, several showed superiority over the commercial fungicide Triadimefon against Cercospora arachidicola and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum during this study. Meanwhile, some compounds displayed plant growth regulatory activity at the dosage of 10μg/mL.

1-[(4-Aminophenyl)ethyl]-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]piperazine (PAPP) is a 5-HT1A agonist and was reported to display high affinity for serotonin (5-HT) receptor from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus. The present investigation explored the possibility of using PAPP as a lead compound of new insecticides with novel mode of action. On the basis of the PAPP scaffold, a series of 1-arylmethyl-4-[(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]piperazine derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for biological activities against the armyworm Pseudaletia separata (Walker). Bioassays showed that most of the target compounds displayed certain growth-inhibiting activities or larvicidal activities against armyworm. The quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) for growth-inhibiting activities was also analyzed and established.

- Structure-activity relationships of novel, highly potent, selective, and orally active CCR1 antagonists
-
Design and synthesis of a series of 3-amino-4-(2-(2-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-yl)-2-oxoethoxy)phenylamino)cyclobutenedione derivatives as novel CCR1 antagonists are described. Structure-activity relationship studies led to the identification of compound 22, which demonstrated potent binding activity, functional antagonism of CCR1 as well as good species cross-reactivity. In addition, compound 22 also showed desirable pharmacokinetic profiles and was selected for in vivo studies in the mouse collagen-induced arthritis model.

- Synthesis and preliminary pharmacological evaluation of 4′-arylmethyl analogues of clozapine. I - The effect of aromatic substituents
-
As part of a research program to develop compounds with mixed dopamine D4 and serotonin 5-HT2A antagonist activity with potential for the treatment of schizophrenia, we report a family of compounds based on structural modification of the atypical antipsychotic, clozapine (2). The chemical synthesis, structural characterization and pharmacological evaluation of a series 4′-arylmethyl analogues of clozapine are described. Preliminary receptor binding data are presented, examining primarily the electronic and positional effects of substituents on the introduced arylmethyl group, and secondarily the nature of the aryl ring.

- Flavonoid-related modulators of multidrug resistance: Synthesis, pharmacological activity, and structure-activity relationships
-
A series of 28 flavonoid derivatives containing a N-benzylpiperazine chain have been synthesized and tested for their ability to modulate multidrug resistance (MDR) in vitro. At 5 μM, most compounds potentiated doxorubicin cytotoxicity on resistant K562/DOX cells. They were also able to increase the intracellular accumulation of JC-1, a fluorescent molecule recently described as a probe of P-glycoprotein-mediated MDR. This suggests that these compounds act, at least in part, by inhibiting P-glycoprotein activity. As in other studies, lipophilicity was shown to influence MDR- modulating activity but was not the only determinant. Diverse di- and trimethoxy substitutions on N-benzyl were examined and found to affect the activity differently. The most active compounds had a 2,3,4- trimethoxybenzylpiperazine chain attached to either a flavone or a flavanone moiety (13, 19, 33, and 37) and were found to be more potent than verapamil.

- Substituted pyrazoles as novel selective ligands for the human dopamine D4 receptor
-
Two novel series of 3-(heterocyclylmethyl)pyrazoles have been synthesised and evaluated as ligands for the human dopamine D4 receptor. Compounds in series I (exemplified by 8k) have a phenyl ring joined to the 4-position of the pyrazole while those in series II (exemplified by 15j) have a 5-phenyl ring linked by a saturated chain to the 4-position of the pyrazole. Both series supplied compounds with excellent affinity for the human D4 and good selectivity over other dopamine receptors. Excellent selectivity over calcium, sodium, and potassium ion channels was also achieved. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

- Mono and double modified teicoplanin aglycon derivatives on the amino acid No. 7; Structure-activity relationship
-
A series of 7d-aminomethylated derivatives (mono modified) and their amides (double modified) at the amino acid No. 7 of teicoplanin aglycon were prepared with the aim of obtaining activity against vancomycin-resistant VanA enterococci. Among mono modified compounds, the 7d-n-decylaminomethyl derivative was the most active against VanA enterococci (4 μg/ml). Amides of the latter with 3-dimethylamino-propylamine or methylamine were found to be up to four times more active against glycopeptide-susceptible Gram-positive bacteria, and up to four times less active against VanA enterococci than the starting compound.

- N-Benzylpiperazino Derivatives of 3-Nitro-4-hydroxycoumarin with H1 Antihistamine and Mast Cell Stabilizing Properties
-
In a small range finding study a number of N-benzylpiperazino derivatives of 3-nitro-4-hydroxycoumarin have been shown to combine potent H1-antihistamine activity with that of mast cell stabilization as demonstrated by their activity as antagonists of histamine on guinea pig ileum and by their inhibition of the release of histamine in rat passive peritoneal anaphylaxis (PPA).The most potent compound, 1-propyl>-4-(4-chlorobenzyl)piperazine, 30, had a pA2 of 9.0 against histamine on guinea pig ileum and inhibited histamine release in the rat PPA test with a potency similar to that of disodium cromoglycate.
