New 2-[2-(phenylamino)thiazol-4-yl]ethanamine and 2-(2-benzhydrylthiazol-4-
yl)ethanamine derivatives were prepared and tested in vitro as H-1 receptor
antagonists. The compounds with 2-phenylamino substitution with meta-halid
e substituents at the phenyl ring, showed weak H-1-antagonistic activity (p
A(2): 4.62-5.04) and this activity was completely lost in the case of meta-
methyl substituent (pA(2) < 4). When the phenylamino group was replaced by
benzhydryl groups of classic antihistamines, the resulting compounds exhibi
ted slightly improved H-1-antagonistic activity (at the meta-position pA(2)
: 6.38-6.15; at the para-position pA(2): 6.04-5.87). (C) 2000 Elsevier Scie
