Conformational effects on the activity of drugs. 7. Synthesis and pharmacological properties of 2-(p-nitrophenyl)-substituted morpholines

Abstract
A series of 1-(p-nitrophenyl)-2-aminoethanol derivatives and their morpholine analogs were synthesized and pharmacologically studied to confirm observations made with the N-isopropyl-substituted compounds. The weak .alpha.-adrenergic-stimulating activity and the potentiating effect on the responses to norepinephrine found in the open-chain compounds persist in their corresponding semirigid cyclic analogs. The results are discussed in the light of common knowledge of the structure-activity relationships of .alpha.-adrenergic drugs.
