Abstract
A series of 6-alkylaminopyridazine-3-carboxylic acid derivatives was tested for dopamine beta-hydroxylase inhibitory activity in vitro according to the method of Kruse et al. Methyl 6-alkylaminopyridazine-3-carboxylates (4) were synthesized through the reaction of methyl 6-chloropyridazine-3-carboxylate (1) with ammonia followed by the condensation with primary amines, and by the methanolysis of the resulting 6-alkylaminopyridazine-3-carboxamides (3) in methanol in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate. Among tested compounds, 6-benzylaminopyridazine-3-carboxylic acid was found to have the most potent inhibitory activity, which was in the same level of the activity of fusaric acid.
