Abstract: | A series of substituted 7,8-dihydrofuro[2,3-g]-1,2-benzisoxazole-7-carboxylic acids 9 and 7,8-dihydrofuro[2,3-g]benzoxazole-7-carboxylic acids 12 were synthesized and evaluated for uricosuric and diuretic activities in rats. Many of the benzisoxazole derivatives 9 showed uricosuric and only weak diuretic activities, whereas the benzoxazoles 12 exhibited potent diuretic activities with little affecting urate excretion. Among these compounds, 5-chloro-7,8-dihydro-3-phenylfuro[2,3-g]-1,2-benzisoxazole-7-carbo xylic acid (9b, AA-193) was found to be a potent uricosuric agent without diuretic activity and was selected for further development. |
