title: Synthetic studies on condensed-azole derivatives. IV. Synthesis and anti-asthmatic activities of omega-sulfamoylalkyloxyimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazines.
abstract: A series of novel (imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-yl)oxyalkylsulfonamides was synthesized and evaluated for the ability to inhibit platelet activating factor (PAF)-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs. The compounds bearing a gem-dialkyl or a cycloalkylidene group at the 2 position of the sulfamoylpropyloxy group in the side chain were found to have potent activity. Among them, 3-(imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-yl)oxy-2,2-dimethylpropanesulfonam ide (6) showed excellent anti-asthmatic activity and the longest duration of action. The compounds bearing a methyl group at the 7 or 8 position of the imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine ring were found to have enhanced activity. Among them, 3-(7-methylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-yl)oxy-2,2- dimethylpropanesulfonamide (25) showed the most potent inhibitory effect, and its anti-asthmatic effect in an experimental model of allergic asthma was superior to that of theophylline. The structure-activity relationships in this series of compounds are discussed.
