The present work was aimed at exploring a series of R/S-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-6-halo-4-(phenylaminothiocarbonylamino)-2H- 1-benzopyrans structurally related to (±)-cromakalim and differently substituted at the 4- and 6-positions. The biological effects of these putative activators of ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) were characterized in vitro on the pancreatic endocrine tissue (inhibition of insulin release) and on the vascular smooth muscle tissue (relaxation of aorta rings). The biological activity of these new dimethylchroman derivatives was further compared to that of (±)-cromakalim, (±)-pinacidil, diazoxide and BPDZ 73. Structure-activity relationships indicated that an improved potency for the pancreatic tissue was obtained by introducing a meta- or a para-electron-withdrawing group such as a chlorine atom on the C-4 phenyl ring, independently of the nature of the halogen atom at the 6-position of the benzopyran nucleus. Most original dimethylchroman thioureas were more potent than their 'urea' homologues and even more potent than diazoxide at inhibiting insulin release. Moreover, and unlike (±)-cromakalim or (±)-pinacidil, such compounds appeared to be highly selective towards the pancreatic tissue. Radioisotopic and fluorimetric investigations indicated that the new drugs activated pancreatic KATP channels. Lastly, conformational studies suggested that the urea/thiourea dimethylchromans can be regarded as hybrid compounds between cromakalim and pinacidil.
