Cyclic amidine analogues of taurine and homotaurine: synthesis and effects on rat skeletal muscle

Farmaco. 1994 Oct;49(10):653-8.

Abstract

A series of amidinosulfonic acids IIIa-f, analogs of taurine and homotaurine, was synthesized by reacting 2-aminoethane or 3-aminopropane sulfonic acid with lactim ethers Ia-c and then cyclized to sultams IVa-c and Vd-f. The effects of some selected amidinosulfonic acids III on membrane ionic conductances of rat skeletal muscle are described.
