A series of phenoxybutanoic acid derivatives were synthesized and tested for their antagonistic activity on the contraction of the rat thoracic aortic ring induced by endothelin-1. Preliminary screening results showed that 6e and 6g with benzoheterocycles demonstrated significant antagonistic activities when compared to the reference compound BQ123. The results from additional assays for the binding affinity and selectivity for endothelin receptors showed that 6e was a selective ETA antagonist with a nanomolar IC50. Moreover, 6e was effective in relieving hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension and right ventricular weight ratio. Therefore, 6e may have potential for further development as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Molecular modification is a quite promising strategy in the design and development of drug analogs with better bioavailability, higher intrinsic activity and less toxicity. In the search of new leads with potential antimicrobial activity, a new series of 14 4-substituted [N′-(benzofuroxan-5-yl)methylene]benzohydrazides, nifuroxazide derivatives, were synthesized and tested against standard and multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains. The selection of the substituent groups was based on physicochemical properties, such as hydrophobicity and electronic effect. These properties were also evaluated through the lipophilic and electrostatic potential maps, respectively, considering the compounds with better biological profile. Twelve compounds exhibited similar bacteriostatic activity against standard and multidrug-resistant strains. The most active compound was the 4-CF3 substituted derivative, which presented a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 14.6-13.1 μg/mL, and a Clog P value of 1.87. The results highlight the benzofuroxan derivatives as potential leads for designing new future antimicrobial drug candidates.

The synthesis, structural characterization and calcium blocking activity of a series of benzofurazanyl-1,4-dihydropyridines (18 and 19) and benzofuroxanyl analogues (20 and 21) are reported. 1H-NMR showed that all the benzofuroxan derivatives exist in solution as tautomeric mixtures. The predominant tautomeric form in solution of the derivative 20 (dimethyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(4-benzofuroxanyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate) is also the one preferred in the solid state as shown by X-ray analysis. The conformation in the solid state of the benzofurazanyl analogue is also reported. Calcium entry blocker activity of the dihydropyridine derivatives 18-21 has been evaluated in isolated rabbit basilar artery as relaxation of calcium-induced contractions in high K+-depolarizing solution. All the compounds displayed high potency. The activity of benzofurazan derivatives was not changed by the N-oxidation. The two most active compounds 18 and 20 were as potent as Nifedipine.
