Abstract: There are prepared compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is the group >C.dbd.O or >CH(OH), Y is the group ##STR2## R.sub.2 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl, R.sub.3 is hydrogen or a hydroxy group and R.sub.1 is the adamantyl group or a saturated or single unsaturated C.sub.3 to C.sub.16 cycloalkyl group where the C.sub.3 to C.sub.16 cycloalkyl group can be substituted by a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group or a halogen atom and their salts. The compounds are useful in dilating the peripheral blood vessels and in lowering blood pressure.

Abstract: Compounds corresponding to the formula ##STR1## are disclosed, wherein Alk represents a C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 -alkylene groups optionally substituted by a hydroxy group and Ar represent an optionally substituted phenyl, naphthyl, tetrahydronaphthyl, indanyl or indenyl radical or a monocyclic or condensed bicyclic or tricyclic heterocyclic radical which is optionally substituted, the heterocyclic radical consisting of individual rings having 5 or 6 members and optionally containing from 1 to 4 hetero atoms, and the acid addition salts thereof. A process for producing these compounds is also disclosed. These substituted aminoalkyl guanidines block the .beta.-receptors of the adrenergic nerve system, and also reduce blood pressure.
