H. Stark et al., UNSYMMETRICALLY SUBSTITUTED GUANIDINES AS POTENT HISTAMINE H-3 RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(24), 1994, pp. 2907-2912
Unsymmetrically trisubstituted and disubstituted guanidine derivatives
of (1H-imidazol-4-yl)alkyl amines were synthesized and investigated f
or histamine H-3-receptor activity. Electron-withdrawing substitution
of the guanidino group resulted in antagonists with a potential prodru
g character. The H-3-receptor selective -cyclohexylmethyl-N-2-[3-(1H-i
midazol-4-yl)propyl] guanidine possesses a -log K-i of 9.1.
