The synthesis of ras farnesyl-protein transferase inhibitor 1 is described on a multi-kilogram scale. Retrosynthetic analysis reveals chloromethylimidazole 2 and a piperazinone 3 as viable precursors. The 1,5-disubstituted imidazole system was regioselectively assembled via an improved Marckwald imidazole synthesis. A new imidazole dethionation procedure has been developed to convert the Marckwald mercaptoimidazole product to the desired imidazole. This methodology was found to be tolerant of a variety of functional groups providing good to excellent yields of 1,5-disubstituted imidazoles. A new Mitsunobu cyclization strategy was developed to prepare the arylpiperazinone fragment 3.

New alkyl ester analogues of nifedipine, in which the ortho-nitrophenyl group of position 4 is replaced by 1-(4-nitrobenzyl)-5-imidazolyl or 2-methylthio-1-(4-nitrobenzyl)-5-imidazolyl substituent, were synthesized and evaluated as calcium-channel antagonists using the electrically induced contraction of guinea-pig ileal longitudinal smooth muscle. Our results demonstrate that all compounds inhibited the contractile response of guinea-pig ileum to electrical stimulation and the IC50 value of the most potent compounds 6a and 6f were significantly lower than that of nifedipine. Therefore, they are more potent than nifedipine.

Substituted imidazoles such as STR1 are useful as angiotensin II blockers. These compounds have activity in treating hypertension and congestive heart failure.
