RESUMO
A series of 1-[(imidazolidin-2-yl)imino]-1H-indole analogues of hypotensive α2 -AR agonists, 1-[(imidazolidin-2-yl)imino]-1H-indazoles, was synthesized and tested in vitro for their activities at α1 - and α2 -adrenoceptors as well as imidazoline I1 and I2 receptors. The most active 1-[(imidazolidin-2-yl)imino]-1H-indoles displayed high or moderate affinities for α1 - and α2 -adrenoceptors and substantial selectivity for α2 -adrenoceptors over imidazoline-I1 binding sites. The in vivo cardiovascular properties of indole derivatives 3 revealed that substitution at C-7 position of the indole ring may result in compounds with high cardiovascular activity. Among them, 7-fluoro congener 3g showed the most pronounced hypotensive and bradycardic activities in this experiment at a dose as low as 10 µg/kg i.v. Metabolic stability of the selected compounds of type 3 was determined using both in vitro and in silico approaches. The results indicated that these compounds are not vulnerable to rapid first-phase oxidative metabolism.

Several 8-chloro-7-R1-6-R2-3-R3-imidazo[1,2-b][1,4,2]benzodithiazine 5,5-dioxide derivatives (9-11, 16-19, and 21-24) have been synthesized as potential antitumor or anti-HIV agents. The in vitro antitumor and anti-HIV-1 activities of the compounds were determined in a panel of cell lines. The benzodithiazine-dioxide 10 showed 50% growth inhibitory activity in low micromolar against most cells. It was particularly effective in leukemia, lung, melanoma, ovarian, and renal cancer cells with GI50 values of 1-2 microM. Interestingly, benzodithiazine-dioxide 16 showed remarkable anti-HIV-1 activity with 50% effective concentration EC50 value of 0.94 microM and no significant cytotoxicity at 200.0 microM.
