- Synthesis and Biological Activity of trans-(+/-)-N-Methyl-2-(3-pirydyl)-2-tetrahydrothiopyrancarbothioamide 1-Oxide (RP 49356) and Analogues: A New Class of Potassium Channel Opener
-
The synthesis and biological activity of trans-(+/-)-N-methyl-2-(3-pyridyl)-2-tetrahydrothiopyrancarbothioamide 1-oxide (8a, RP 49356) and analoques is reported.These compounds constitute a new structural class of K+-channel opener.The effects of changes in the pyridyl group, thioamide, and thiane ring on in vitro K+-channel opening activity are discussed.A 3-pyridyl or 3-quinolyl group, a small N-alkyl thioamide function, and a thiane oxide ring, in which the sulfoxide is in a trans relationship to thioamide, are preferred for activity.Selected compounds were tested intravenously in the normotensive anaesthetized rat for hypotensive effects, and the activities reflect their in vitro K+-channel opening activity.This led to further evaluation of compound 8a and the selection of the (-)-enantiomer 8b (RP 52891) for development as an antihypertensive and antianginal agent.

- Correlation pKa - activitee catalitique des thiols dans la reeaction d'hydrolyse de l'aceetate de p-nitropheenyle
-
The kinetic study of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylacetate in the presence of primary thiols indicates the thiolate anion as the sole catalytic species.Comparison of the true second order constants (kRS-) reveals that purely aliphatic primary thiols behave differently from aromatic α-substituted primary thiols.In the latter group a correlation can be established between the true second order rate constants and the pKSH values by means of the Broensted equation log kRS- = βpKSH + C, with β equal to 0.40 and C equal to -0.85.
