Abstract

A series of novel (imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-yl)oxyalkylsulfonamides was synthesized and evaluated for the ability to inhibit platelet activating factor (PAF)-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs. The compounds bearing a gem-dialkyl or a cycloalkylidene group at the 2 position of the sulfamoylpropyloxy group in the side chain were found to have potent activity. Among them, 3-(imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-yl)oxy-2,2-dimethylpropanesulfonam ide (6) showed excellent anti-asthmatic activity and the longest duration of action. The compounds bearing a methyl group at the 7 or 8 position of the imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine ring were found to have enhanced activity. Among them, 3-(7-methylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-yl)oxy-2,2- dimethylpropanesulfonamide (25) showed the most potent inhibitory effect, and its anti-asthmatic effect in an experimental model of allergic asthma was superior to that of theophylline. The structure-activity relationships in this series of compounds are discussed.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
