Novel 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-[3-(substituted phenoxy)-2-hydroxy-1-propyl] amino-1-propanol hydrochlorides were designed based on the pharmacophore for potent uterine relaxant activity and by utilizing the principles of structural hybridization. The designed molecules were synthesized as racemates by a novel route and were evaluated for uterine relaxant activity in vitro on isolated rat uterus and in vivo in pregnant rats. Their cAMP-releasing potential was studied using rat uterus tissue homogenates by the cAMP [3H] assay, and cardiac stimulant potential was evaluated on isolated guinea pig right atrium. All compounds exhibited potent uterine relaxant activity in vitro and produced a significant delay in the onset of labour in pregnant rats; their cAMP-releasing potential was slightly less, while their cardiac stimulant potential was insignificant as compared to isoxsuprine hydrochloride.
