Tricyclic and tetracyclic systems with activity on the central nervous and vascular systems

Abstract

The present invention relates to chemistry and pharmacy and, in particular, to the production of novel molecular entities, tricyclic and tetracyclic derivatives of benzodiazepine, pyridodiazepine and pyrimidodiazepine type fused with 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives, having an effect on the central-nervous and vascular systems. Derivatives containing a dihydropyridine ring are used, by means of reactions with compounds of the ortho-phenylenediamine, ortho-diaminopyridine and ortho-diaminopyrimidine type, and also subsequent conversions to some thereof, to obtain tricyclic and tetracyclic derivatives of general formula I-XII that contain a diazepine or diazepinone nucleus fused to a 1,4-dihydropyridine nucleus, in which the A ring is a substituted or unsubstituted benzene, pyridine or pyrimidine ring. These molecular entities exhibit GABAergica and modulating action in the case of calcium channels which can be used in the treatment of cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders.
