Abstract

The present invention provides compounds having H.sub.3 histamine receptor antagonist activity of the general formula: ##STR1## R.sub.2 is a hydrogen or a methyl or ethyl group; R.sub.3 is a hydrogen or a methyl or ethyl group; n is 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6; and R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of (a) C.sub.3 to C.sub.8 cycloalkyl; (b) phenyl or substituted phenyl; (c) alkyl; (d) heterocyclic; (e) decahydronapthalene; and (f) octahydroindene; with the provisos that when X is H, A can be --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --,--COCH.sub.2 --,--CONH--,--CON(CH.sub.3), CH.dbd.CH, --c.ident.c--,--CH.sub.2 --NH--, --CH.sub.2 --N(CH.sub.3)--,--CH(OH)CH.sub.2 --,--NH--CH.sub.2 --, --N(CH.sub.3)--CH.sub.2 --,--CH.sub.2 O--,--CH.sub.2 S--, and --NHCOO--; when X is NH.sub.2, NH(CH.sub.3), N(CH.sub.3).sub.2, OH, OCH.sub.3, CH.sub.3, SH, and SCH.sub.3 ; A can be --NHCO--, --N(CH.sub.3)--CO--, --NHCH.sub.2 --, --N(CH.sub.3)--CH.sub.2 --, --CH.dbd.CH--; --COCH.sub.2, --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --,--CH(OH)CH.sub.2, or --C.ident.C--; and when R.sub.1 and X taken together denote a 5,6 or 6,6 saturated bicyclic ring structure X NH, O, or S and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and individual stereoisomers of compounds of structural formula (1.0) above. This invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in combination with an effective amount of a compound of the above formula and a method of treating conditions in which antagonism of histamine H.sub.3 receptors may be of therapeutic importance.
