title: Synthesis, gastrointestinal prokinetic activity and structure-activity relationships of novel N-[[2-(dialkylamino)ethoxy]benzyl]benzamide derivatives.
abstract: Novel N-[[dialkylamino)ethoxy]benzyl]benzamide derivatives (II-1-51), derived from the structural modification of metoclopramide (I), were synthesized and examined for their pharmacological activities. Among them, N-[4-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]benzyl]-3,4-dimethoxybenzamide (II-34) which exhibited well balanced gastrointestinal prokinetic and antiemetic activities was selected as a new type of gastrointestinal prokinetic agent.
