Cardiovascular Profile of Xanthone-Based 1,4 Dihydropyridines Bearing a Lidoflazine Pharmacophore Fragment

As a follow-up to our previous studies on differently substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines endowed with a peculiar cardiac selectivity, in this paper, a small series of hybrid compounds bearing the pharmacophore fragment of lidoflazine in position 2 or 3 on a 4-(xanthen-9-one)-dihydropyridine core was r...

description As a follow-up to our previous studies on differently substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines endowed with a peculiar cardiac selectivity, in this paper, a small series of hybrid compounds bearing the pharmacophore fragment of lidoflazine in position 2 or 3 on a 4-(xanthen-9-one)-dihydropyridine core was reported. Lidoflazine was selected due to our promising previously reported data, and the xanthen-9-one substituent was introduced in position 4 of the dihydropyridine scaffold based on the cardiac selectivity observed in several of our studies. The new hybrid compounds were tested to assess cardiac and vascular activities, and the data were evaluated in comparison with those previously obtained for 4-(xanthen-9-one)-dihydropyridines and lidoflazine&#8315;nifedipine hybrid compounds. The functional studies indicated an interesting peculiar selectivity for the cardiac parameter inotropy, in particular when the lidoflazine fragment was introduced in position 2 of the dihydropyridine scaffold (<b>4a</b>&#8315;<b>e</b>), and thus a possible preferential binding with the Ca<sub>v</sub> 1.2 isoform of <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">l</span>-type calcium channels, which are mainly involved in cardiac contractility.
