title: [Synthesis, pharmacological activity and biopharmaceutical characteristics of alpha,2-dimethyl-5H-[1]benzopyrano[2,3-b]pyridine-7-acetates].
abstract: The pro-drugs of alpha,2-dimethyl-5H-[1]benzopyrano[2,3-b]pyridine-7-acetic acid(I) with a potent anti-inflammatory activity were synthesized in order to reduce its gastrointestinal side effects. Various esters synthesized were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity and ulcerogenicity. Among the compounds maintaining a potent activity of I, N,N-dimethylcarbamoylmethyl alpha,2-dimethyl-5H-[1]benzopyrano[2,3-b]pyridine-7-acetate (II-18) showed excellent biopharmaceutical characteristics. The ulcerogenic effect of II-18 on the rat gastric mucosa was about 3 times less than that of I. It was suggested that II-18 may be an useful biolabile pro-drug for I among the compounds tested.
