title: Synthesis and pharmacological characterization of some benzazepinone derivatives.
abstract: A series of some benzazepinone derivatives were prepared. The compounds were evaluated for inotropic, chronotropic and calcium antagonist properties. For the compounds bearing well-known alpha-blocking fragments, the antagonist potency at postsynaptic alpha-adrenoceptors was assessed. The new compounds were less effective as bradycardic agents and calcium antagonists but show remarkable negative inotropic activity.
