Abstract
The synthesis and evaluation as H3-receptor histamine antagonists is described of novel isoteric analogues of thioperamide. The compounds are designed to have fewer NH groups in order to assist brain penetration. However none of the compounds is sufficiently active as an antagonist in vitro. The 2-pyridyl analogue II has Ki = 13 μmol 1-1.
