2-aryl-3-phenylamino-4,5-dihydro-2H-benz[g]indazoles with antiarrhythmic and local anaesthetic activities

Description

The synthesis of novel 2-aryl-3-phenylamino-4,5-dihydro-2H-benz[g]indazoles 4a-f, starting from N-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-oxonaphthalene-2-carbothioamide and the proper arylhydrazines, is described. Title compounds were evaluated for antiinflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, antiarrhythmic, hypotensive, local anaesthetic and platelet antiaggregating activities; some of them showed an appreciable antiarrhythmic activity in rats and a good level of infiltration anaesthesia in mice.
