A New Isoquinolinone Derivative with Noble Vasorelaxation Activity

Abstract

The pharmacological effects of BDPBI (7-bromo-1,4-dihydro-2-phenyl-4,4-bis(4-pyridinylmethyl)2H-isoquinolin-3-one dihydrochloride) were tested on isolated endothelium-containing or denuded aorta of the guinea pig. BDPBI with the formula C₂₇H₂₄BrCl₂N₃O was synthesized starting with 3-isochromanone. In the endothelium-containing preparations of the aortic rings, phenylephrine (PHE; 10 µmol/l) elicited contracture and acetylcholine (ACh; 10 µmol/l) or BDPBI (0.01–10 µmol/l) elicited relaxation effects on the PHE-precontracted preparations. The BDPBI-elicited effect on the PHE-precontracted aortic rings was not altered in the presence of adrenergic blockers (propranolol or yohimbine; 1 µmol/l) or pretreated preparations with aspirin, indomethacin (10 µmol/l) or L-NAME (1 mmol/l). However, the relaxation effects of BDPBI were blocked if the preparations were pretreated with diphenhydramine (10 µmol/l) or chloropheniramine maleate (10 µmol/l). In contrast to lower concentrations of atropine (1 µmol/l), higher concentrations of atropine (30 µmol/l) did block the effects of BDPBI on the PHE-precontracted aortic rings. HTMT dimaleate (0.01–10 µmol/l), a histamine H₁ receptor agonist, also elicited relaxation effects on the PHE-precontracted preparation, and the effects were blocked if the preparations were pretreated with diphenhydramine or chloropheniramine maleate. On isolated denuded aorta of the guinea pig, BDPBI did not elicit relaxation effects on the PHE-precontracted aortic rings. These results demonstrated that the vasorelaxation effect of BDPBI on PHE-precontracted aortic rings is partly dependent on the activation of a histaminergic receptor from the vascular endothelium. We suggested that BDPBI would be an effective vasorelaxant for cardiovascular systems.

Multiple Cutaneous Features Associated with Primary Sjogren’s Syndrome

“…Less common findings include vitiligo, Sweet syndrome, granulomatous paniculitis and erythema elevatum diutinum [3]. Panniculitis associated with Sjögren syndrome is a rare cutaneous manifestation, as reported by Yu-Chen Huang et al only 9 cases have been published, clinical manifestation usually shows classic tender erythematous plaques over the extremities with symmetrical distribution [4]. Biopsy specimens of erythema nodosum classically demostrate edematous septa and mild lymphocytic infiltrates although neutrophils may predominate in early lesions, vasculitis is not generally seen.…”

The Impact of Environmental Uncertainty on the Relationship between Standards Quality, Accounting Estations Quality and Share Prices: An Empirical Study

“…Increasingly, the literature is looking at the influence of EU on decisions made by investors, management, and other stakeholders. For example, EU has a significant effect on a firm's voluntary disclosure (Nagar et al, 2019), media coverage of the declaration of earnings (Bonsall et al, 2020) and audit fees (Chen et al, 2019). Environmental uncertainty is a key driver in making financial reporting decisions.…”

Multicomponent Assembly and Diversification of Novel Heterocyclic Scaffolds Derived from 2-Arylpiperidines

“…2:1) of diastereomers. The biological relevance of compounds such as 34 arises from the observation that 4,4-disubstituted dihydroisoquinolin-3-ones have vasorelaxant properties, 22 and several 4-aryltetrahydroisoquinolines exhibit central nervous system activity. 23 Reductive cleavage of the isoxazolidine N,O -bond of 34 with nickel boride provided the amino alcohol 36 , which is primed for further diversification by a variety of N -functionalizations.…”
