title: Synthesis and cardiovascular properties of furazanyl-1,4-dihydropyridines and of furoxanyl analogues.
abstract: A series of furazanyl- and furoxanyl-1,4-dihydropyridines has been synthesized and tested for their cardiovascular activity. The new compounds showed a modest activity in comparison with nifedipine and some selectivity for the myocardial muscle. The most active compound was diethyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-phenyl-4-furoxanyl)-3,5-pyridine dicarboxylate, 4d.
