To find new H(+) /K(+) -ATPase inhibitors for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease, a series of novel N-aryl isothiourea derivatives were synthesized and their structures were identified by (1) H NMR and GC-MS. The effects of these compounds on inhibiting gastric acid secretion were evaluated by the guinea pig stomach mucous membrane study with pantoprazole magnesium as a positive control. The results showed that, of the 37 N-aryl isothiourea compounds synthesized, 20 compounds have comparable or stronger gastric acid inhibitory activities than that of pantoprazole magnesium. The quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) of the N-aryl isothiourea compounds were also studied by comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) computation, and the model structure that was supposed to give more powerful bioactivities was finally predicted.
Keywords: H+/K+-ATPase; N-Aryl isothiourea; Synthesis.
