Novel nicotinate esters of vasodilatation activity.

Abstract

A variety of 2-substituted-4, 6-diaryl-3-pyridinecarboxylates 4 were obtained through aromatic nucleophilic substitution. reaction of secondary amines with 2-bromo-3-pyridinecarboxylate derivatives 3. The latters were obtained through bromination of 3-aryl-4-benzoyl-2-cyanobutyrates 2 in glacial acetic acid. However; reaction of primary aromatic amines with 2-bromopyridines 3 afforded 2-arylamino-3-pyridinecarboxylates 5 beside the unexpected 2-amino analogues 6. On the other hand, 3-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines 7 were isolated via reaction of 3 with hydrazine hydrate. Good to complete muscle relaxation of rabbit's jejunium, rat's uterus and rabbits aorta was observed during screening representative examples (3a, 4c, Sd, 5f and 6b) of the newly synthesized 3-pyridinecarboxylates indicating the vasodilatation and antihypertension activity for the tested compounds.
