In the present work recent results obtained in the pharmacochemistry of the furoxan system are reported. In particular, after a brief description of the salient points of the furoxan chemistry, the synthesis and the properties of a series of Nifedipine and Prazosin analogues, containing this heterocyclic system, are described. Since we observed that a few furoxan derivatives are able to elicit both a dose-dependent rise in platelet cGMP levels and to promote a dose-dependent inhibition of AA-induced [Ca++] rise, and that many substituted furoxans show potent vasodilating and antiaggregatory activity, the possibility of using the furoxan system as a lead in the design of new vasodilators is also discussed.

Synthesis and structure of the two isomeric furoxanecarboxylic acids 3 and 14 and a few of their derivatives 10-13, 15, 16 is reported. 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of the product obtained by thermal decomposition of 4-phenyl-3-furoxancarboxylic acid and thermal equilibration of furoxan derivatives are also discussed.
