- Bis basic substituted polycyclic aromatic compounds. A new class of antiviral agents. 8. Bis basic derivatives of carbazole, dibenzofuran, and dibenzothiophene
-
A series of bisalkamine esters, bis-basic ethers, and bis-basic ketones of carbazole, N-ethylcarbazole, dibenzofuran, and dibenzothiophene was synthesized and evaluated for antiviral activity. The series also induced two bis-basic alkanes of N-ethylcarbazole and one bis-basic carboxamide of dibenzofuran. Structure-activity relationships indicated that within the carbazole and N-ethylcarbazole series the bisalkamine esters gave the most active derivatives while the bis-basic ketone derivatives of dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene afforded the more potent compounds within the respective series. The [6,5,6] heterocyclic nuclei were compared with [6,5,6] aromatic nuclei (fluorene and fluoren-9-one) including tilorone with respect to antiviral activity against encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus. Maximum activity was associated with the bis-basic ketone side chain and fluoren-9-one nucleus.

- Pharmaceutically useful sulfur containing heterocyclic derivatives
-
Compounds of the following general formula are useful in the treatment of conditions of delayed hypersensitivity. SPC1 Wherein X represents a bond, --CH2 --, or oxygen; Y represents a vinlyene group, --CH(OH)--, carbonyl, oxygen, divalent sulfur, or carbonyloxy with the proviso that when Y is oxygen, divalent sulfur or carbonyloxy, X represents a bond; A represents a straight or branched alkylene chain of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms with the proviso that when Y is vinlyene, A contains from 1 to 5 carbon atoms; and with the proviso that when Y is carbonyloxy, A contains from 2 to 6 carbon atoms; each of R1 and R2 is selected from hydrogen, a straight or branched lower alkyl group of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; or alkenyl of 3 to 6 carbon atoms having the vinyl unsaturation in other than the 1-position, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.
