A series of 6 derivatives of xanthone were synthesized and evaluated for cardiovascular activity. The following pharmacological experiments were conducted: the binding affinity for adrenoceptors, the influence on the normal electrocardiogram, the effect on the arterial blood pressure, the effect on blood pressor response and prophylactic antiarrhythmic activity in adrenaline induced model of arrhythmia (rats, iv). Two compounds revealed nanomolar affinity for α1-adrenoceptor which was correlated with the strongest cardiovascular (antiarrhythmic and hypotensive) activity in animals' models. They were enantiomers of previously described (R,S)-4-(2-hydroxy-3-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl)propoxy)-9H-xanthen-9-one hydrochloride and revealed similar antiarrhythmic potential in adrenaline induced model of arrhythmia in rats after intravenous injection (ED50 = 0.53 mg/kg and 0.81 mg/kg, respectively). These values were lower than values obtained for reference drug urapidil. These compounds were more active in this experiment than urapidil (ED50 = 1.26 mg/kg). The compound 5 administered iv at doses of 0.62-2.5 mg/kg at the peak of arrhythmia prevented and/or reduced the number of premature ventricular beats in a statistically significant manner. The ED50 value was 1.20 mg/kg. The S-enantiomer (6) given at the same doses did not show therapeutic antiarrhythmic activity in this model. These compounds significantly decreased the systolic and diastolic blood pressure throughout the whole observation period in anesthetized, normotensive rats. The studied enantiomers showed higher toxicity than urapidil, but imperceptibly higher that another cardiovascular drugs, that is, carvedilol or propranolol. They were also evaluated for mutagenic potential in the Ames (Salmonella) test. It was found that at the concentrations tested the compounds were non mutagenic when compared to solvent control. Results were quite promising and suggested that in the group of xanthone derivatives new potential antiarrhythmics and hypotensives might be found.

A series of 20 xanthone derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for anti-Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) activity. Qualitative and quantitative in vitro tests using the Kirby-Bauer method (agar disc-diffusion method) were performed. The tested compounds were screened against clarithromycin- and/or metronidazole-resistant strains of H. pylori. As a reference, Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacterial strains were examined. On the basis of microbiological assays, xanthones can be considered as potential anti-H. pylori agents. They displayed significant activity against the examined strains, which was higher against the bacteria resistant to metronidazole than clarithromycin. The lowest MIC values ranging up to 20 mg l-1 were observed for the following compounds: 3, 4, 8, 9, 12, 19 (against the metronidazole-resistant strains) and the compound 10 (against the clarithromycin-resistant strain). These preliminary results for screening of xanthone derivatives form a part of an ongoing study of the structure-activity relationships of a large group of compounds. Microbiological assays will be conducted afterwards to determine the mechanism of xanthones' action against H. pylori.

A series of 9 piperazine derivatives of xanthone were synthesized and evaluated for cardiovascular activity. The following pharmacological experiments were conducted: the binding affinity for adrenoceptors, the influence on the normal electrocardiogram, the effect on the arterial blood pressure and prophylactic antiarrhythmic activity in adrenaline induced model of arrhythmia (rats, iv). Three compounds revealed nanomolar affinity for α1- adrenoceptor which was correlated with the strongest cardiovascular (antiarrhythmic and hypotensive) activity in animals' models. The most promising compound was 4-(3-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine-1-yl)propoxy)-9H-xanthen-9-one hydrochloride (12) which revealed antiarrhythmic activity with ED50 value of 0.69 mg/kg in adrenaline induced arrhythmia (rats, iv). Other synthesized xanthone derivatives, that is, (R,S)-4-(2-hydroxy-3-(4-(2- methoxyphenyl)piperazine-1-yl)propoxy)-9H-xanthen-9-one hydrochloride (10) and (R,S)-4-(2-acetoxy-3-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine-1-yl)propoxy) -9H-xanthen-9-one hydrochloride (11) also acted as potential antiarrhythmics in adrenaline induced model of arrhythmia in rats after intravenous injection (ED50 = 0.88 mg/kg and 0.89 mg/kg, respectively). These values were lower than values obtained for reference drugs such as propranolol and urapidil, but not carvedilol. Results were quite promising and suggested that in the group of xanthone derivatives new potential antiarrhythmics and hypotensives might be found.
