title: Organic nitrates. II. Synthesis and biological activities of 4-nitrooxymethylphenyl-1,4-dihydropyridines.
abstract: Both 2-nitrooxymethyl-4-phenyl- (2) and 4-nitrooxymethylphenyl-1,4-dihydropyridines (3) represent new combinations of two different vasodilating structures. 2 could not be isolated due to its spontaneous lactonization. Derivatives of 3 were obtained via Hantzsch synthesis using nitrooxymethylated benzaldehydes. The inotropic potency in isolated porcine trabecular muscles and the vasodilator activity in isolated porcine coronary arteries of four nitrooxyphenyl-dihydropyridines were determined. Nitrendipine (NTD) and glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) were used for reference. 3 were negative inotropic, however, less than NTD and--except for the dicyano derivative 3d--more than GTN. Vasodilator properties were less pronounced than that of both nitrendipine and GTN. Vascular selectivity was low.
