A new series of 11-substituted 6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepin derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for antiallergic activity. Convenient methods for the preparation of sulfides from alcohols were developed. Structure-activity relationships are described. Compound 7, 11-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]thio-6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-carboxy lic acid hydrochloride, was the most potent in the rat passive cutaneous anaphylaxis test (ED50 = 0.92 mg/kg p.o.). It had a potent inhibitory effect on anaphylactic bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs (ED50 = 0.029 mg/kg p.o.) and H1 receptor antagonistic effect (K(i) = 14 nM) with few central nervous system side effects. Additionally, an antagonistic effect against prostagrandin D2-induced contraction of isolated guinea pig trachea (pA2 = 5.73) was an attractive mechanism of action of the new antiallergic agent. Compound 7 was selected for further evaluation as KW-4994.
