Abstract:
The compounds are C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 straight chain alkanes terminally substituted, symmetrically or unsymmetrically, by N-(N'-substituted guanidino), N-(N',N"-disubstituted guanidino), N-(N'-substituted thioureido), N-(nitromethylene amidino) or S-(N-substituted isothioureido)groups. Two compounds of the invention are 1,3-bis-[N'-(2-(5-methyl-4-imidazolylmethylthio)ethyl)guanidino]propane and 1,3-bis-[S-(N-2-(5-methyl-4-imidazolylmethylthio)ethyl)isothioureido]propane. The compounds of this invention are inhibitors of H-2 histamine receptors.
Abstract:
The compounds are guanidines, for example N-benzenesulphonyl-N'-[2-((4-methyl-5-imidazolyl)-methylthio)ethyl]guanidine, which are inhibitors of histamine activity.
