Abstract

This report describes the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a series of novel potassium channel openers related to the pinacidil-type compounds. Thioureas, cyanoguanidines, and pyridine N-oxides were systematically evaluated for their effects on both the inhibition of spontaneous mechanical activity in rat portal vein (in vitro) and their antihypertensive activity (in vivo), and the structure-activity relationship for this series of ...
