The following Foridon analogs were synthesized: 3, 5-dicarboxylates of 1, 4- dihydropyridines with a longer alkyl chain (Ib, c) and the monoanilide of 1, 4-dihydropyridine 3, 5-dicarboxylate (id). In addition, we synthesized three compounds (le-g) in which the oxygen atom in the OCHFa group was replaced by a~ dlfur atom.
