Quantitative structure-activityrelationships (QSAR) of N-Ac amino acids, N-Ac dipeptides, and N-Ac tripeptides in inhibition of 125I-labeled ristocetin binding to Micrococcus luteus cell wall have been developed to probe the details of the binding between ristocetin and N-acetylated peptides. The correlationequations indicate that (1) the binding is stronger for peptides in which the side chain of
Compounds are disclosed of formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents --COR.sub.4, --CO.sub.2 R.sub.4 or --COCO.sub.2 R.sub.4 (where R.sub.4 represents a hydrogen atom or an unsubstituted or substituted C.sub.1-10 hydrocarbon moiety); R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are the same or different and are C.sub.1-6 alkyl or C.sub.3-6 alkenyl; or --NR.sub.2 R.sub.3 forms a 5-membered (optionally containing an oxygen atom adjacent to the nitrogen) or 6-membered ring, which ring optionally contains one unit of unsaturation and which is unsubstituted or substituted by optionally substituted methylidene, --COR.sub.5 (where R.sub.5 represents C.sub.1-6 alkyl, --OR.sub.6 or --NHR.sub.6 and R.sub.6 represents hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl, aryl, or ar(C.sub.1-6)alkyl, or N.dbd.NOR.sub.7 (where R.sub.7 represents C.sub.1-6 alkyl); X represents a direct bond, --CH.sub.2 -- or --CH.sub.2 O--; Ar represents a substituted phenyl moiety; and physiologically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds are indicated as useful in the treatment of pain and cerebral ischaemia. Processes and intermediates for their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing them are also disclosed.
