Abstract: A series of substituted 8,8-dimethyl-8H-pyrano[2,3-f]chromen-2-ones (chromeno-coumarin hybrids) was synthesized from scopoletin (11) as vasorelaxing agents. The synthesized compounds 21a-f, 22, 23a-e and scopoletin (11) were evaluated for vasorelaxation in endothelium intact rat main mesenteric artery (MMA). Compounds 11, 21a, 21c-f and 22 showed significant vasorelaxation in precontracted MMA within the range of EC50 value 1.58-5.02 µM. These derivatives presented 29.40-70.89 fold increased sensitivity for experimental tissue compared to scopoletin (11), the parent molecule. Among others, 22 was found to be the most active compound which had EC50 1.58 µM with 70.89 fold increased sensitivity. The mechanistic evaluation of 22 showed that it exerted vasorelaxation through Ca2+-activated K+ (BKca) channel and the effect was endothelium-independent.
