Novel Potassium-Channel Openers: Preparation and Pharmacological Evaluation of Racemic and Optically Active N-(6-Amino-3-pyridyl)-N'-bicycloalkyl-N''-cyanoguanidine Derivatives
The previous paper reported on the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of N-(6-amino-3-pyridyl)-N'-bicycloalkyl-N"-cyanoguanidine derivatives, from among which three compounds were selected as potent potassium-channel openers. In the present study, selected compounds were tested for antagonism of potassium-induced contraction of rat aorta, hypotensive activity in normotensive rats, and diuretic
