Preliminary evaluation of pharmacological properties of some xanthone derivatives

Bioorg Med Chem. 2009 Feb 1;17(3):1345-52. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2008.12.031. Epub 2008 Dec 24.

Abstract

A series of xanthone derivatives were synthesized and examined for electrocardiographic, antiarrhythmic, hypotensive and anticonvulsant activities as well as for alpha(1)- and beta(1)-adrenergic binding affinities. Among the investigated compounds, some of them exhibited significant antiarrhythmic and/or hypotensive activity. The data obtained via receptor binding assay are in agreement with pharmacological results and could explain antiarrhythmic and/or hypotensive activity of the newly synthesized structures.
