Abstract

This paper presents the synthesis of new indole, pyridazino[4,5-b]-indole, and pyridazino[4,5-a]indole analogs as well as a study of their "in vitro" activity as inhibitors of different phosphodiesterases isolated from dog cardiac tissue, dog aorta, and bovine platelets; the study of their activity as inhibitors of platelet aggregation in guinea pig whole blood, with ADP and arachidonic acid (AA) as pro-aggregants, is also included. The selected compounds 8-benzyloxy-3,4-dihydro-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxy)benzylideneaminopyridazin o[4,5- b]indole 14g, and 8-benzyloxy-4-[(3,4-dimethyl)pyrazolyl]pyridazino[4,5-b]indo le 20 present an interesting profile as potential inodilators, with a complementary, beneficial activity as inhibitors of the aggregation, activities which could possibly be related to the inhibition of the PDE's. Among the other compounds studied, 8-benzyloxy-3,4-dihydro-1-[4-(methyl)piperazino]acetamidopyrida zino[4,5- b]indol-4-one 16c and 8-benzyloxy-3,4-dihydro-1-[4-(2- methoxyphenyl)piperazino]acetamidopyridazino[4,5-b]indol-4-o ne 16f stood out as inhibitors of platelet aggregation, with a mechanism that could possibly be related to the AA cascade.
