Pharmacological properties of new 1,2-benzisothiazolyloxypropanolamines on cardiac and tracheal beta-receptors.
This paper reports the pharmacological assessment of beta-blocking properties of new benzisothiazole and benzisoxazole derivatives, substituted in position 3-, 5- or 7- with the oxypropanolaminic side chain (I-VI), to of which contain the -OCH3 group in position 3- (III, V) in comparison with propranolol. The results, obtained on isoprenaline-induced chronotropic response of rat isolated atria and on isoprenaline-induced relaxation of guinea-pig tracheal strips precontracted by carbachol, suggest that the compounds (I, II, IV, VI), at variance with the methoxy-substituted (III, V), possess a beta 1-blocking activity 4-300 times lower than propranolol. pA2 values drop from 8.36 to 7.56 and 7.04 from the relative compounds substituted in position 7- (IV), 3- (I) and 5- (II), thus indicating that the position of the oxypropanolaminic chain in the benzisothiazole ring affects the ability of the molecules to interact with the beta 1-adrenoceptor. Furthermore, benzisothiazole rather than benzisoxazole ring seems to facilitate the drug-beta 1 adrenoceptor interaction, the compound (I) displaying a 10-fold higher affinity than compound (VI).
