Abstract
We report microwave-assisted synthetic routes, the pharmacokinetic profile along with results from ulcerogenicity and mutagenicity studies of atenolol aspirinate, and an already described derivative, in which acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin®) was connected to atenolol by an ester linkage. Atenolol aspirinate was stable towards aqueous hydrolysis but rapidly hydrolyzed in plasma (t1/2 = 7.6 min). The results showed that the rapid and complete hydrolysis generates atenolol salicylate, which assumes a conformation stabilized by two intramolecular H-bonds, avoiding its further hydrolysis to salicylic acid and atenolol.
