The increased levels of cyclic nucleotides (cGMP and cAMP) in enterocytes trigger intracellular mechanisms of ion and fluid secretion into the lumen, causing secretory diarrhea. Twelve novel pyridopyrimidines derived from 5‐(3,5‐bistrifluoromethylphenyl)‐1,3‐dimethyl‐5,11‐dihydro‐1H‐indeno[2,1 : 5,6]pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐2,4,6‐trione (FPIPP) were synthesized and evaluated on intracellular cyclic nucleotide accumulation. All compounds had no effect on either cyclic nucleotide basal levels or on pre‐contracted aortic rings. The metabolic activity and viability in T84 cells, assessed by MTT (3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) and the LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) assays, respectively, were not affected by incubation with the compounds (50 μM). Compound  VI  almost abolished cGMP accumulation (94 % inhibition) induced by STa toxin in T834 cells and significantly reduced (69 %) forskolin‐induced cAMP accumulation in Jurkat cells. Compound  VI  was active in an in vivo model for diarrhea in rabbits. These results prompted us to perform a microscopic histopathological analysis of intestinal tissues, showing that only compound  VI  preserves the intestine without significant pathological changes and with a decreased inflammatory pattern in comparison to FPIPP. In vitro stability test revealed that compound  VI  is resistant to oxidation promoted by atmospheric oxygen.
