Studies on New Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors 1. Synthesis of 7-Nitro-3,4-dihydroquinoline-2(1H)-one Derivatives.

Abstract
A series of 6-cyclic aliphatic amino-7-nitro-3,4-dihydroquinoline-2(1H)-ones were prepared and tested for platelet aggregation inhibitory effect, cardiotonic activity and chronotropic activity. These compounds appeared to show selective inhibitory activity against platelet aggregation. Among them, 6-(4-ethoxycarbonylpiperidino)-7-nitro-3,4-dihydroquinoline-2(1H)-one (22f) showed the most potent inhibitory activity and high selectivity. A divergent synthetic route to 6-cyclic aliphatic amino-7-nitro-3,4-dihydroquinoline-2(1H)-one derivatives has also been investigated.
