In any discussion of the true structure of an amidinourea, tautomerism must be considered. It should be clear to anyone skilled in the art that the amidino- urea side chain can be legitimately represented in any one of several tautomeric forms. In solution, one form may predominate over another, depending upon the degree and location of substitution and on the nature of the solvent. The rates of conversion of one tautomer to another will depend upon the nature of the solvent, the degree of hydrogen bonding permitted, the temperature, and possibly other factors (such as pH, trace impuri¬ ties and the like) . To illustrate what is meant by this, a number of tautomeric structures are here shown for just one of the compounds of this invention: Of course, other structures are possible, such as those with hydrogen bonding. Furthermore, the heterocyclic atom may contribute to structures reflecting hydrogen bonding.

Condensation of an N-heterocyclic carbamate, for example a phenyl-N-heterocyclic carbamate, with an appropriately substituted guanidine results in a l-heterocyclic-3-substituted amidinourea. The reaction is carried out in a polar medium using solvents such as alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, etc. It is convenient to carry out the reaction by preparing the guanidine .in situ by hydrolyzing a guanidine carbonate with base. Condensation of the carbamate takes place when the guanidine forms and the amidinourea compounds result. When R substitution is desired, the starting material can be an N-heterocyclic N-substituted carbamate, obtained from the corresponding N-alkyl heterocyclic a ine, which is then reacted with the appropriate substituted guanidine to prepare the amidinourea. (Scheme I) Scheme I R2 2 O NR4 il II R5 Ri - N - C - N - C - N I I ^R6 2 3 One method to obtain an amidinothiourea is where the starting material is a triethylamine salt of a heterocyclic dithiocarbamic acid which can be obtained from the heterocyclic amine. Reaction with FeCl3 eliminates H 2 S to form the isothiocyanate. Subsequent reaction with an appropriate substituted guanidine forms the heterocyclic amidinothiourea. (Scheme II) 'N(Et) 3 R3 The starting, heterocyclic amines are known or may be prepared by known techniques. m Reactions may also be carried out at other stages of synthesis depending on the substituents present and the substituents desired. Various combinations of the foregoing reactions can be determined by one skilled in the art in order that the desired product results. Thus, a pyridylamidinourea may be halogenated or nitrated, etc. The following are detailed examples which show the preparation of the compounds of this invention.

O PI - . WIFO This invention also relates to a method for lowering blood pressure in mammalian species by administering to a patient an effective blood pressure lowering amount of a compound according to Formula I, and preferably, a compound according to Formula VII: where: X is O or S; n is zero to four; (R) is a ring substituent as defined above including pyridyl N-oxide; R 2 is hydrogen or alkyl; . R5 and Rg are hydrogen, alkoxy, alkenyl, alkyl, or aryl; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Various tests can be carried out in animal models to show the ability of the compounds of this invention to exhibit reactions that can be correlated with pharma¬ cological activity in humans. The following test proto¬ col can be used to determine the blood pressure effect of compounds according to this invention. Determination of Antihypertensive Activity A description of the test protocol used in the determination of the antihypertensive activity of the compounds of this invention follows: (a) Male TAC spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR's), eleven weeks old, weighing 200-220 grams, are chosen for testing. The average systolic blood pressure (measured as below) should be 165 m Hg or above. Any rat not initially meeting this criterion is not utilized. (b) A Beckman dynograph is balanced and calibrated using a Beckman indirect blood pressure coupler. A mercury monometer is placed on one arm of the glass "T" tube. The known pressure head in the tail cuff is synchronized with the recorder output so that a 1 mm pen deflection = 5 m Hg. Any correction is made using the chart calibration screw on the pressure coupler. The pulse amplitude is controlled by the pre-amplifier using a 20 v/cm setting. The rats are prewarmed in groups of five for twenty minutes to dilate the tail artery from which the arterial pulse is recorded. After prewarming, each rat is placed in an individual restraining cage with continued warming. When the ' enclosure temperature has been maintained at 35 β C for 5 minutes, recordings are started. The tail cuff is placed on the rat's tail and the rubber bulb of the pneumatic tail cuff transducer is taped securely to the dorsal surface of the tail. When the rat*s pulse reaches maximum amplitude and is unwavering, the cuff is inflated and the air slowly released. A reading of systolic blood pressure is read at the point of the chart when the first deflection appears on the chart recording while the air in the cuff is being released. The exact point of the systolic blood pressure reading is where the first deflection forms a 90° angle to the falling cuff • pressure base line. After obtaining nine or ten consistent readings, the average of the middle five readings is calculated. (c) Three groups of twenty rats receive the test compound at doses of 0.125 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg, and 2 mg/kg b.i.d. A fourth group of twenty control rats receives distilled water. Statistical comparisons of systolic pressure (four hours after the first dose and sixteen hours after the second dose) are made on a daily basis using the Student t test for dependent variables (see, E. Lord, Biometrika, 34, 56 (1947)), with the predose observations serving as baseline values for each rat. The test results on compounds according to Formulae I and VII show that these compounds possess significant blood pressure lowering activity and are useful in lowering blood pressure in humans and animals. In particular, compounds of Formula VII are useful for relieving hypertensive disorders by administering to a patient suffering from hypertension a therapeutically effective amount between about 0.5 mg to about 500 mg per dosage unit of at least one of said compounds. This invention also relates to a method of treating gastrointestinal disorders by administering to a patient compounds according to Formula I, and preferably compounds according to Formula VIII: X NH II 11 5 Rl " N | - C - - NH - C NH VIII 1 R2 Re where: X is oxygen or sulfur; R* j _ is pyridyl, 1-pyrrole, substituted 2-pyridyl, substituted 2-pyrrole or substituted 3—thienyl; R 2 is hydrogen or alkyl; R5 and Rg are each independently hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy or aryl; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. . Various tests can be carried out in animal models to show the ability of these compounds to exhibit gastrointestinal activity. These tests are well known in the art and are disclosed in U.S. patents discussed above and are hereby incorporated by reference. One such test is the gastric secretion inhibition test, the test protocol of which is as follows. The method used has been reported by Shay. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (140—160 g) are fasted 24 hours prior to the test. The rats are allowed water ad libitum only during the fasting period. One hour before pyloric ligation the rats (5/group) are given either atropine sulfate or the vehicle. The compounds are prepared in methylcellulose. Pyloric ligation is performed in the rats under sodium methohexital anesthesia. Four hours after pyloric ligation, the rats are sacrificed by cervical dislocation, the stomachs are removed, and the gastric contents are assayed for volume, titratable acidity, and titratable acid output (TAO) . A 1 ml aliquot of the gastric contents is titrated with 0.1 N NaOH to pH 7.0 for titratable acidity. The percent of inhibition is calculated according to the formula c«H y ,<YI?0 Mean control - mean treated x 100 Mean control It has been found that the compounds of this invention, particularly the compounds of Formula VIII, possess the ability to markedly decrease gastric volume and gastric acidity and are useful as antisecretory, antidiarrheal and anti-ulcerogenic agents. The compounds of Formula I are useful for relieving gastrointestinal hyperacidity or ulceration by administering to a patient suffering from said gastrointestinal hyperacidity or ulceration a therapeutically effective amount between about 0.5 mg and about 500 mg per dosage unit of at least one of said compounds. The compounds of Formula I are also useful for relieving diarrheal conditions by administering to a patient suffering from said diarrheal condition a therapeutically effective amount between about 0.5 mg and about 500 mg per dosage unit of at least one of said compounds.
