title: Synthesis and anti-histaminic evaluation of N-phenyl-(alkyl)-5-(dialkylamino)methyl-2-amino-2-oxazolines.
abstract: New N-phenyl(alkyl)-5-(dialkylamino)methyl-2-amino-2-oxazolines, 5a-e, have been synthesized from the corresponding 3-phenyl(alkyl)carbamoyl-2-iminooxazolidines 2. A two-stage hydrolysis reaction led finally to the corresponding ring-opened N-phenyl(alkyl)-N'-[1-(3-(dialkylamino)-propan-2-ol)]ureas 4. The oxazoline ring was regenerated through an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution involving an halogen atom introduced by the reaction of thionyl chloride on 4. Pharmacological properties of 5a-e were evaluated on histaminic and adrenergic receptors in guinea-pig trachea and rat aorta. Compounds 5b and 5e showed a selective anti-histaminic effect on guinea-pig airways, but a significant response was obtained for a concentration >10(-6) M. No pharmacological activity was obtained with oxazoline 5c whereas oxazolines 5a and 5d seemed to present a non-selective effect on the contractile mechanism of the smooth muscle cell.
