A new class of calcium antagonists. 2. Synthesis and biological activity of 11-[[4-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-piperazinyl]butyryl]amino]-6,11- dihydrodibenzo[b,e]-thiepin maleate and related compounds.

A series of [(epsilon-aminoalkanoyl)amino]-6,11- dihydrodibenzo[b,e]thiepins and -5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptenes and related compounds were synthesized and evaluated for calcium antagonistic activity by calcium-induced constriction of potassium-depolarized rat aorta. Semiempirical molecular orbital calculations of the dibenzotricyclic systems indicated that calcium antagonistic activity increased with a decrease of the angle between the planes of the two phenyl rings. AM1 net charge calculations showed that a neutral or positive charge distribution in the bridge portion was necessary for activity. 11-[[4-[4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-1- piperazinyl]butyryl]amino]-6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]thiepin maleate (16, AJ-2615) showed a more gradual and longer lasting antihypertensive effect than diltiazem and nifedipine in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) administered orally. Compound 16 also possessed antianginal effects in methacholine-induced ST elevation and vasopressin-induced ST depression tests in rats. The alteration of the dibenzotricyclic system of 16 to 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene (19, 5-[[4-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-butyryl]amino]-5H- dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene) resulted in selectivity for cardiac tissue over vascular tissue, thereby conferring antianginal activity without an effect on blood pressure. Antianginal potencies of 16 and 19 were equal to or somewhat more potent than those of diltiazem.

Synthesis and biological activity of 11-[4-(cinnamyl)-1-piperazinyl]- 6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepin derivatives, potential agents for the treatment of cerebrovascular disorders.

A series of 11-[4-(cinnamyl)-1-piperazinyl]-6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e] oxepins and related compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their protective activities against complete ischemia, normobaric hypoxia, lipidperoxidation and convulsion. Structure-activity relationship studies of this series led to the finding of (E)-1-(3-fluoro-6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepin-11-yl)-4-(3- phenyl-2-propenyl)piperazine dimaleate (50), AJ-3941 with the most appropriate property for combined pharmacological activities. Compound 50 also shows an inhibitory effect against cerebral edema as well when orally given to rats.
