Basic antiinflammatory compounds. N,N',N''-Trisubstituted guanidines

Abstract
A variety of basic N,N'',N"-trisubstituted guanidines was prepared and tested for antiinflammatory activity. Compounds with a thiazolylguanidine moiety linked to the 4 position of the 2-methylquinoline ring exhibited fairly high antiinflammatory activity. Optimal activity was associated with the presence of N-cycloalkyl substituents on N"-4-(2-methylquinolyl)-N''-2-thiazolylguanidine. Pharmacological data [mice, rat and bovine] on N-cyclohexyl-N"-4-(2-methylquinolyl)-N''-2-thiazolylguanidine (SR 1368) are presented and discussed.
