Abstract: A series of 3,7,9,9-tetraalkyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives (bispidines) was synthesized and identified as potential antiischemic agents. Pharmacological experiments in vitro as well as in vivo are described, and the results are listed. For selection of those compounds fitting best to the desired profile of a specific bradycardic antianginal agent--decrease in heart rate without affecting contractility and blood pressure--these results were scored and ranked. Quantitative structure--activity relationship (QSAR) analyses were performed and discussed a posteriori by means of Hansch, nonelementary discriminant and factor analysis to get insight into the molecular features determining the biological profile. Highly significant equations were obtained, indicating hydrophobic and steric effects. Both pharmacological ranking and QSAR considerations showed compound 6 as the optimum within the structural class under investigation. Compound 6 (tedisamil, KC8857) has been selected as the most promising compound and was chosen for further pharmacological and clinical investigations as an antiischemic drug.
