2-AMINOTHIAZOLINE DERIVATIVES AND THEIR USE AS NO-SYNTHASE INHIBITORS

摘要

The invention concerns 2-aminithiazoline derivatives of formula (I) wherein: either R1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical and R2 is an alkyl, -alk-NH2, -CH-R3, -CH2-S-R4 or phenyl radical substituted by a nitro or NH-C(=NH)CH3 radical; or R1 is an alkyl radical and R2 is a hydrogen atom; R3 is a cycloalkyl (3-6C), pyridyl, pyridyl N-oxide, thienyl, thiazolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazinyl, triazolyl, phenyl or phenyl radical substituted by a nitro, hydroxy or carboxy radical; R4 represents a pyridyl or pyridyl N-oxide radical; alk represents an alkylene radical or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts excluding some known compounds, and the use of said derivatives as inducible NO-synthase inhibitors.
