Abstract:
The benzofuran-morpholinomethyl-pyrazoline hybrids 4a-e, 5a-e and 6a-j were synthesized via reaction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds 3a-e with hydrazine hydrate, semicarbazide or thiosemicarbazide. Applying the Mannich reaction to 5-(5-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-4-methoxybenzofuran-6-ols 7a-e with morpholine hydrochloride and paraformaldehyde afforded positional isomeric 7-morpholinomethyl derivatives 4a-e and N-morpholinomethyl derivatives 8a-e. All the synthesized compounds showed significant vasodilatation properties in isolated thoracic aortic rings of rats precontracted using the standard norepinephrine hydrochloride technique. Compounds 3d, 3e, 5a-c, 6b, 6c, 6f, 6h and 6i exhibited activity (IC50 0.3185-0.4577 mM) superior to that of prazocin (IC50 0.487 mM), while 5d, 6j and 8c showed comparable activity (IC50 0.4789-0.4951 mM). The quantitative structure-activity relationship study revealed a correlation between the observed vasorelaxant activities of the newly synthesized compounds and their different physicochemical parameters, especially solubility, in addition to structure connectivity and energetic quantities calculated from stored three dimensional (3D) conformations. Absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) evaluation showed good agreement with the biological results obtained.

Adrenergic Agonists: Chemistry and Structure-Activity Relationship
Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
