Anti-ulcer and gastric antisecretory activity of a series of thioethers and related sulphoxides

A series of thioethers containing a pyridinium moiety were prepared and tested for gastric antisecretory and anti-ulcer activity. Following initial screening two compounds 2-(3-chlorobenzylthio)-1-methylpyridinium chloride and 2-(2-fluorobenzylthio)-1-methylpyridinium chloride were investigated further. By modification of substituent groups some separation of anti-ulcer and antisecretory activity was achieved. Subsequently it was found that the pyridinium moiety could be replaced and a number of related thioethers and sulphoxides were synthesised and were also found to be active. A wide range of structural variations were found to be possible with retention of activity.
