title: Studies on antiulcer drugs. II. Synthesis and antiulcer activities of imidazo[1,2-alpha]pyridinyl-2-alkylaminobenzoxazoles and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-alpha]pyridinyl derivatives.
abstract: A series of imidazo[1,2-alpha]pyridinylbenzoxazoles (4) and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-alpha]pyridinylbenzoxazoles (5) were synthesized and tested for anti-stress ulcer activity in rats. Several compounds were found to be more active than the reference compounds, sucralfate, cimetidine and ranitidine. Some of them exhibited potent protective activity against ethanol-induced gastric lesion. The synthesis and structure-activity relationships of these compounds are discussed.
