title: Synthesis and quantitative structure-activity relationships of antiallergic 2-hydroxy-N-1H-tetrazol-5-ylbenzamides and N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxamides.
abstract: The synthesis and antiallergic activity of a series of 2-hydroxy-N-1H-tetrazol-5-ylbenzamides and isomeric N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxamides is described. A relationship between structure and intravenous antiallergic activity in the rat passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) test has been established using a Hansch/Free-Wilson model and used to direct studies toward potent derivatives. The contribution of physicochemical properties to activity is discussed. One member of this series, N-(3-acetyl-5-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxamide (3f), which was selected for further evaluation, has an ID50 value of 0.16 mg/kg po and is 130 times more potent than disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) on intravenous administration.
