Abstract: | The synthesis of ethyl esters of 5-cyano-1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-3-pyridinecarboxylic acids carrying as 2-substituent the 2-,3- or 4-pyridyl group is described. By alkaline hydrolysis followed by acidification, these esters gave the corresponding carboxylic acids, which were decarboxylated to 1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-6-(2,3,4-pyridyl)-3-pyridinecarbonitriles. As milrinone analogues, the above compounds were tested on contractile activity and frequency rate of spontaneously beating atria from reserpine-treated guinea-pigs. Ethyl 5-cyano-1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-2-(2-pyridyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate showed an appreciable positive inotropic activity, although inferior to that of milrinone; moreover, some other compounds bearing the above 2-substitution pattern showed interesting antiinflammatory, analgesic and hypotensive activity. |
