title: Xanthone 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives with a potent selective bradycardic effect.
abstract: A series of xanthone 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives were prepared. The compounds were evaluated for inotropic, chronotropic and calcium antagonistic properties. The tested compounds are weak calcium antagonists but exert potent selective bradycardic effects.
