We describe the synthesis and chemical properties of newly designed C-2-symmetrical twin-drug type aminoguanidines or 4-aminomethyloxazolidinone derivatives (4-7) in which a long chain alkyl group [-(CH2)(10)-] was used as a linker. Synthesis of some triplet-drug type symmetrical oxazolidinones (8) is also described. Among the tested compounds, the aminoguanidine derivative 4a showed the highest alpha-glucosidase inhibition activity (IC50 = 76.3 mu mol/L).
