A new series of substituted thieno[1,4]thiazines with an urea moiety has been designed. The synthesis and results of replacement of the quinoline and indoline moieties of lead structure 1 are described. The key step in preparation was the substitution with 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate to obtain the required reactivity for substitution with diamines. Structural modifications of the amino side chain with the aim of finding tissue specific compounds were carried out. Pharmacological testings explored the presumed calcium-channel-antagonistic and potassium-channel-opening activities.

In this study novel substituted 6-benzyl-thieno[2,3-b][1,4]thiazines with an urea moiety were synthesized. Structural modifications of the amino side chain were carried out with the aim of finding tissue specific compounds. The effects on papillary muscles, right atria, aortic strips, and terminal ilea were investigated. Compounds 10c and 10d showed the most potent negative inotropic effect. The calcium antagonism of all derivatives occurred in a non-competitive manner, which may indicate that they also have potassium channel opening activities.
