Gastrophenzine (AN5, DZO-200) is a Bulgarian antiulcerogenic drug. It is related to Nomifensine. AN5 possesses an antiulcer activity many times higher than that of ranitidine and cimetidine.[1]
A study found that gastrophenzine lacked genotoxicity and was non-mutagenic.[2]
By virtue of its dopaminergic properties, AN5 might also be indicated off-label for use in the treatment of either depression or Parkinson's disease.
Compare also to other aniline-containing urethane drugs: Bonnecor, Ethacizine and Moricizine.
Synthesis

The alkylation of N-Methyl-2-nitrobenzylamine [56222-08-3] (1) with 4-chlorostyrene oxide [2788-86-5] (2) affords N-(2-nitrobenzyl)-2-(methylamino)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-ethanol (3). The reduction of the nitro group with NaBH4/NiCl2 in boiling methanol gave N-(2-aminobenzyl)-2-(methylamino)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-ethanol [102436-79-3] (4). Urethane formation with ethyl chloroformate results in N-[2-(ethoxycarbonyl)amino]-2-(methylamino)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-ethanol (5). The latter is cyclodehydrated by means of conc. H2SO4 in dichloroethane to Gastrophenzine (6).
According to method B, the amino alcohol (4) is cyclodehydrated by conc. H2SO4 to 8-amino-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, PC14493695 (7). Urethane formation with ethyl chloroformate also gives Gastrophenzine.
