Synthesis and Anthelmintic Activity of a Series of Pyrazinobenzazepine Derivatives

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jm00129a007

A series of 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12b-octahydropyrazino<2,1-a><2>benzazepine derivatives was prepared and the cestocidal activity of the compounds evaluated in an in vitro Taenia crassiceps screen.Many of these derivatives proved to be highly active, and 2-(cyclohexylcarbonyl)-4-oxo-1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12b-octahydropyrazino<2,1-a><2>benzazepine, epsiprantel (BAN) (22), was selected for further development.The structure-activity relationships are discussed.
