A group of alkyl 7,7-dihalo-3-methyl-5-(2- or 3-nitrophenyl)-2-azabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-ene-4-carboxylates were prepared by reaction of dihalocarbenes (:CX2, X = Br, Cl) with alkyl 2-methyl-4-(2- or 3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylates. In vitro calcium channel antagonist activities were determined using a guinea pig ileum longitudinal smooth muscle assay. The title compounds exhibited weaker CC antagonist activity (10−5 to 10−7 M range) than the reference drug nifedipine (1.4 × 10−8 M). Structure–activity relationships showed that the position (ortho or meta) of the nitro-substituent on the C-5 phenyl ring, the size (van der Waal’s radius for Br and Cl are 1.95 and 1.80 Å, respectively) and/or electronegativity (Cl > Br) of the C-7 geminal halogen atoms do not appear to have a significant effect on CC antagonist activity. In contrast, the effect of the alkyl ester substituent was more pronounced where compounds having a Me or Et alkyl ester group showed superior potency (IC50 in the 10−7 M range) relative to the reference drug nifedipine (IC50 = 1.40 × 10−8 M). Replacement of a 2-methyl-3-methoxycarbonylvinyl moiety present in nifedipine by a bioisosteric geminal-dihalocyclopropyl moiety provided a novel class of calcium channel antagonists that do not exhibit any inotropic effect on guinea pig atria.
