Studies on cerebral protective agents. I. Novel 4-arylpyrimidine derivatives with anti-anoxic and anti-lipid peroxidation activities

Article abstract of DOI:10.1248/cpb.40.1452

Novel 4-arylpyrimidine derivatives were synthesized by the oxidation of 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyrimidines, and their effects on anti-anoxic (AA) activity in mice and anti-lipid peroxidation (ALP) activity in rat brain mitochondria were investigated. Among these compounds, ethyl 6-methyl-2-phenyl-4-(4-pyridyl)-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate (4b) has AA activity (10mg/kg, i.p.) and ethyl 6-methyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate (4f) has ALP activity (73% inhibition at 10^-5 g/ml). The latter compound (100mg/kg, i.p.) was also effective on arachidonate-induced cerebral edema in rats with comparable potency to that of vitamin E.
