ABSTRACT
The synthesis of 3-aralkyl-4-aryl-4H-, 3-aralkylamino-4-aryl-4H- and 3-aralkylsulfanyl-4-aryl-4H-pyrido[4,3-e]-1,2,4-thiadiazine 1, 1-dioxides is described. Moreover, the affinity of the different compounds towards the cholecystokinin CCK-A and CCK-B receptors was evaluated. For selected compounds, affinity on the two receptor subtypes was expressed in the micromolar range. This was comparable to the affinity observed with the naturally occurring CCK receptor antagonist asperlicin.

A series of 2-aralkyl-4H-pyridothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides and 3-aralkylamino-2-aryl-2H-pyrido[4,3-e]-1,2,4-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxides structurally related to quinazolinone CCK receptor antagonists were synthesized and evaluated as CCK-A and CCK-B receptor ligands. The compounds were effective as cholecystokinin-ligands in the micromolar range of concentration, c.f. the cholecystokinin receptor antagonists asperlicin, lorglumide or benzotript, and were thus less potent than the best quinazolinones previously reported. Although the compounds were unsuitable for drug use, the work contributed to our understanding of the chemistry of unusual 2,3-disubstituted pyridothiadiazinedioxides.
