Cardioselective anti-ischemic ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) openers: benzopyranyl indoline and indole analogues

Eur J Med Chem. 2003 May;38(5):459-71. doi: 10.1016/s0223-5234(03)00063-1.

Abstract

This paper describes the design, syntheses, and biological evaluations of novel ATP-sensitive potassium channel (K(ATP)) openers, benzopyranyl indoline and indole derivatives. Among those, two enantiomers of indoline-2-carboxylic ethyl esters (14, 18) showed the best cardioprotective activities both in vitro and in vivo, while their vasorelaxation potencies were very low (concentration for 50% inhibition of vasorelaxation >30 microM). The cardioprotective effect of 14 was completely reversed by 5-hydroxydecanoate, a selective mitochondrial K(ATP) blocker, indicating its provable protective mechanism through the mitochondrial K(ATP) opening. In addition, we performed conformational analyses using 2D-NMR, X-ray crystallography and molecular modeling to study the structure-activity relationships in this series of compounds.
