Derivatives related to betaxolol with α- and β-adrenergic activities

The paper describes the synthesis and the pharmacological evaluation of some derivatives of betaxolol, all with an N-aralkylamine instead of the tertiobutylamine. These compounds have been tested for β1-adrenergic receptor antagonism on guinea pig atria, β2-adrenergic receptor antagonism on guinea pig trachea and α-adrenergic blocking activity on rat aorta. Compound U12 with a marked α-blocking activity and compound R8 with a β1/α ratio = 1 were selected for a haemodynamic study in the dog. The decrease in cardiac work and the diminution of total peripheral resistance exhibited by U12 are consistent with a dual α/β-blocking agent. Finally, structure-activity relationships are discussed.
