title: [Synthesis and biological activity of 1-(4-acylamino)benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines].
abstract: For searching more effective antiarrhythmic agents, on the basis of integration of the structural feature of certain potassium channel blockers available, various acylamino groups were introduced to the position 4 of the benzyl ring of this series of compounds. Thus, eight 1-(4-acylamino)benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines were designed and synthesized, which had not been reported in the literatures. Compounds V1, V2 and V6 at concentration 10(-6) mol.L-1 depressed rat aortia contraction induced by high KCl (80 mmol.L-1). The effect was similar to that of tetrandrine. Compound V6 showed potent antiarrhythmic activity at the dosage of 1 mg.kg-1.
