(3-Phenyl-7-flavonoxy)propanolamines have been shown to exhibit antihypertensive activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Although they are structurally similar to classical β-adrenergic blocking compounds, their activity is not due to inhibition of β-adrenoceptors. In the present study, a series of simple flavonoxypropanolamines was prepared to further explore the structural requirements for the antihypertensive effect of these compounds. A structure-activity relationship of these derivatives indicates that the position of the oxypropanolamine side chain, the hydroxy group of the side chain, steric bulkiness and length of N substituents, degree of the N-substitution, phenyl group at the 2-position of the chromone nucleus, and substituents of the phenyl group or B ring of the flavone play significant roles in imparting pharmacological effects. In addition, there is a good correlation between the antihypertensive activity and depletion of myocardial norepinephrine. Of these analogues tested, the most effective one was flavodilol (3). Only the 8-substituted analogue 6 was found to be a β-antagonist. Flavodilol was chosen for in-depth pharmacological, toxicological, and clinical evaluation.
