Reversible depression of electrically-induced contractions of guinea pig longitudinal muscle by a reversible inhibitor of prostaglandin synthetase.

The pesticide chlordimeform (CDM) depressed the electrically-induced twitch responses of the guinea pig longitudinal muscle ED50 = 3 X 10(-5)M). Naloxone reversed twitch depression induced by morphine but not by CDM. Phentolamine reversed twitch depression induced by either norepinephrine or clonidine, but not by CDM. PGE2 completely reversed twitch depression induced by either CDM or indomethacin, but only partially reversed twitch depression induced by lidocaine. The actions of CDM best resemble those of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. The reversibility of the CDM depression by washing indicates that the guinea pig ileal preparation is a convenient screen for distinguishing reversible from irreversible inhibitors of prostaglandin biosynthesis.

Cyclic amidine inhibitors of indolamine N-methyltransferase.

Syntheses of a large number of mono- and bicyclic, as well as a few tricyclic, amidine derivatives related to 2,3,4,6,7,8,-hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine (DBN) are reported. In vitro potencies for inhibition of the enzyme indolamine N-methyltransferase (INMT) from rabbit and human lung are presented. Four bicyclic amidine derivatives and 11 monocyclic derivatives were found to be equal or superior to DBN in in vitro potencies. With the bicyclic amidines, increasing ring size or introduction of substituents reduced activity. Among the monocyclic analogues, the most potent representatives were five- or six-membered systems with an exocyclic imino group, combined with methyl of ethyl substituents on the endocyclic nitrogen. Introduction of additonal substituents decreased inhibitory potency. 2,3,5,6-Tetrahydro-8H-imidazo[2,1-c][1,4]thiazine and 3-methyl-2-iminothiazolidine have been shown to cause inhibition of lung INMT when administered orally to rabbits.

2-Mercaptoacetamidines as gastric antisecretory agents.

A series of N-substituted 2-mercaptoacetamidines was synthesized and evaluated for gastric antisecretory activity in dogs stimulated with gastrin tetrapeptide. The most potent analogues showed 80--95% inhibition of acid secretion after an oral dose of 8 mg/kg. Thus, these compounds represent a new structural type having significant antisecretory activity. Disulfides had essentially the same antisecretory potency as the corresponding mercaptoacetamidines, indicating a metabolic interconversion. Alkylation of the mercapto group decreased potency. Higher carboxamidine homologues such as 2- and 3-mercaptopropionamidines had very low activity. Hydroxyacetamidines and mercaptoacetamides also had low potency. Side effects observed with this series of compounds included emesis, tachycardia, and gastric bleeding.
