Abstract

Hypertension is an important public health issue due to its high socioeconomic cost. Therefore, the search for novel antihypertensive agents is still a continuous goal in drug design and development. Since 1-[(2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)methyl]-4-phenylpiperazine molecules have already been reported as antihypertensive agents in the literature, a preliminary study of the vasoactive activity of the molecule LINS01005 in isolated rat aortic rings demonstrated potent vasodilatory activity. Considering the therapeutic potential of vasodilator molecules, and the knowledge of structure-activity relationships is fundamental to guide the rational design of new bioactive compounds, this project aims to systematically evaluate the vasodilatory potency of 5-substituted derivatives of LINS01005. Such compounds will be prepared starting from the 4-substituted phenols, which will be allyled, isomerized and cyclized to obtain the compounds of interest, by methodologies already established in our group. Vasodilator activity studies will be performed on isolated aortic rings from Wistar and SHR rats, previously contracted with norepinephrine, in the presence and absence of endothelium, using the protocol already established by the Nephrology Discipline. Dose-response curves will be performed for the prepared compounds, and the blockade of the classical signaling pathways involved in the vasodilatory activity are intended to be performed. (AU)
