摘要：

In the 1,3-dihydro-5-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-6-oxo-3-pyridazinyl)-2H-indol-2-one series of cardiotonics, we found that a spirocycloalkyl ring may be annealed to the 3-position of the indolone moiety while retaining inotropic activity. An inverse relationship was found between spirocyloalkyl ring size and inotropic potency. ED50 values of the spirocyclopropane 10, spirocyclobutane 12, and spirocyclopentane 13 were 2.7, 35, and 133 micrograms/kg, respectively, following iv administration to pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs. The most potent compound prepared was 11 (5'-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-4-methyl-6-oxo-3-pyridazinyl)spiro[cyclopropane- 1,3'-[3H]indol]-2'(1'H)-one), the 4-methyl analogue of 10. This compound had an iv ED50 of 1.5 microgram/kg. Oral activity was evaluated by administering 50 micrograms/kg of 10 to conscious, chronically instrumented dogs. A 39% increase in LV dP/dt60 was observed, and an inotropic effect was demonstrable in excess of 7 h. Thus, the spirocyclic dihydropyridazinone inotropes are potent, long-acting, orally effective cardiotonics. Compound 11 was a potent inhibitor (IC50 = 13 nM) of cAMP phosphodiesterase derived from canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR-PDE). Importantly, -log IC50 values for inhibition of SR-PDE for this entire series of compounds were highly correlated (r = 0.949, p less than 0.02) with their inotropic -log ED50 values, supporting the hypothesis that inhibition of this enzyme contributes to the mechanism of action of the spirocyclic dihydropyridazinones.
