Antihypoxic Effect

Heating of 4-methoxydibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11(6H)-one with pyridine hydrochloride to 225 to 235 °C effected demethylation and gave IV. Its sodium salt reacted with 3-dimethylaminopropyl chloride in ethanol and afforded the 4-(3-dimethylaminopropoxy) compound II. The isomeric ether III was prepared via the 4-(4-bromobutoxy) compound V. Hydrochloride of II (VÚFB-17 033) inhibited mildly the binding of [3H]desipramine in rat hypothalamus, had antireserpine activity in rats, mild anticonvulsant effect, and antihypoxic effect in the test of nitrogen anoxia in mice.

Hypoxia dilates airways in vivo and reduces active tension of airway smooth muscle in vitro. To determine whether hypoxia impairs Ca2+ entry through voltage-dependent channels (VDC), we tested the ability of dihydropyridines to modulate hypoxia-induced relaxation of KCl- and carbamyl choline (carbachol)-contracted porcine bronchi. Carbachol- or KCl-contracted bronchial rings were exposed to progressive hypoxia in the presence or absence of 1 microM BAY K 8644 (an L-type-channel agonist). In separate experiments, rings were contracted with carbachol or KCl, treated with nifedipine (a VDC antagonist), and finally exposed to hypoxia. BAY K 8644 prevented hypoxia-induced relaxation in KCl-contracted bronchi. Nifedipine (10(-5) M) totally relaxed KCl- contracted bronchi. Carbachol-contracted bronchi were only partially relaxed by nifedipine but were completely relaxed when the O2 concentration of the gas was reduced from 95 to 0%. These data indicate that hypoxia can reduce airway smooth muscle tone by limiting entry of Ca2+ through a dihydropyridine-sensitive pathway, but that other mechanisms also contribute to hypoxia-induced relaxation of carbachol-contracted bronchi.
