The series of vasicine (1) analogues, an alkaloid from Adhatoda vasica Nees., were synthesized with changes in A, B or C rings. Compounds 3-19 were evaluated for in vitro bronchodilatory activity using isolated guinea pig tracheal chain. Compounds 3-8 were also synthesized in good vields using microwave-mediated synthesis under solvent free conditions. Compounds 5 and 8 with seven-member C ring were more active than etofylline and caused 100% relaxation of both the histamine and acetylcholine pre-contracted guinea pig tracheal chain. The structure-activity relationship studies showed that the quinazoline and oxo functionalities were essential for activity. The compounds without C ring and instead having aliphatic and phenyl substitutions in B ring showed relaxation against histamine pre-contracted tracheal chain only, 2-methyl substituted analogues, 12 and 13, being most active with 100% relaxation effect.
