New benzopyran-based openers of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel with potent anti-ischemic properties

J Med Chem. 2006 Dec 28;49(26):7600-2. doi: 10.1021/jm061228l.

Abstract

This study was aimed at evaluating, on a limited number of benzopyran compounds, whether the insertion of an electron-rich spirocyclic substituent at the C4 carbon of the benzopyran molecular nucleus may improve the cardioprotective properties against ischemia. Some of the new compounds (1b, 2b, and 4b) exhibited interesting anti-ischemic properties without affecting significantly the blood pressure parameters.
