Substituted pyrido[3,2-b]oxazin-3(4H)-ones: synthesis and evaluation of antinociceptive activity

Bioorg Med Chem. 1998 Feb;6(2):133-42. doi: 10.1016/s0968-0896(97)10005-0.

Abstract

A new series of N-substituted pyrido[3,2-b]oxazinones has been synthesized, pharmacologically evaluated, and compared with acetyl salicylic acid. The compound with the maximal combination of safety and analgesic efficacy was 4-¿3-[4-(4-fluorophenyl-1-piperazinyl)propyl]¿-2H-pyrido[3,2-b]-1, 4-oxazin-3(4H)-one (6c) with ED50 values of 12.5 mg/kg po (mouse: phenylquinone writhing test) and 27.8 mg/kg po (rat: acetic acid writhing test), respectively. Compound 6c proved to be more active than aspirin with a safety index of 5.1.
