Abstract: Styrylamidines are prepared by treating styrylsulfonylamidines with base. The styrylamidines are effective in the prevention of aggregation of blood platelets and as analgesics. Compounds of the invention are also useful as anticonvulsants, diuretics, and antihypertensive agents. The styrylsulfonylamidines of the invention which serve as precursors to the styrylamidines also have analgesic properties. Illustrative of the styrylamidines of the present invention are 4-amino-N-(4-aminostyryl)benzamidine and N-(3,4-dichlorostyryl)acetamidine. An example of a styrylsulfonylamidine is N-(styrylsulfonyl)acetamidine.

Abstract: N-Phenyl amidines which have diuretic, antithrombogenic, smooth muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory and antiarrhythmic properties have been discovered. They are prepared by reacting a substituted aniline with a carboxamide selected from the group consisting of amides and lactams in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride. Typical examples of substituted N-phenyl amidines thus obtained are 5-methyl-2-(N-phenylbenzylamino)-1-pyrroline, 2-(N-phenylbenzylamino)-1-pyrroline, 3-[(N-1-pyrrolin-]-yl-p-anisidino)methyl]indole and 4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-2-(N-phenylphenethylamino)-3H-azonine. Indole substituted N-phenyl amidines can be rearranged to provide iminopyrrolinidinyl-indoles which are useful as diuretic, antithrombogenic and smooth muscle relaxant agents. In the case of 3-[(N-1-pyrrolin-2-yl-p-anisidino)methyl]indole, the rearranged product is 3-[[2-(p-methoxyphenylimino)-1-pyrrolidinyl]methyl]indole.

Preferred compounds such as 2-hydroxy-5-[1-hydroxy-2-[(1,1-dimethyl-2-phenylethyl)amino]ethyl]-benzene acetonitrile are selective beta-adrenergic stimulants having relatively greater potency on respiratory smooth muscle than on cardiac muscle. Such compounds are particularly valuable in the treatment of bronchial conditions.

Abstract: A new class of alkylthiophenoxyalkylamine derivatives and methods for preparation are described.
