“…The 3,5-isoxazolidinediones ( 1 ) are an important pharmacologically active class of compounds. We have shown that they are potent hypolipidemic − and cytotoxic agents, specific inhibitors of the type-2 isoform of IMPDH, and inhibitors of aldose reductase. , They also act as antidiabetic agents. − Six-membered ring analogues of 1 include the 2 H -1,2-oxazine-3,6-diones ( 2 ) and the 1 H -2,3-benzoxazine-1,4(3 H )-diones ( 3 ). − While there has been one report each on the fungicidal properties and the β-Lactamase pro-inhibitory activity of 3 , the pharmacological properties of 2 and 3 have been largely unexplored. In contrast, the corresponding 2 H -1,3-benzoxazine-2,4(3 H )-diones ( 4 ) have a wide range of pharmacologic activities including antimycobacterial, − antituberculotic, − analgesic, , cardiovascular, antimitotic, antifungal, , cytotoxic, and antifungal, and the 2 H -1,4-benzoxazine-2,3(4 H )diones ( 5 ) are active as antimiotic, antimicrobial, antiallergic, , and renin inhibitory agents.…”
