Synthesis and antihypertensive activity of N-(alkyl/alkenyl/aryl)-N-heterocyclic ureas and thioureas.

A variety of N-(alkyl/alkenyl/aryl-N-heterocyclic ureas and thioureas were synthesized as potential antihypertensives. The selected heterocyclic nuclei were the 6-substituted quinoline and the pyridine. Eleven synthesized compounds and seven related compounds in the series were evaluated orally at a dose of 100 mg/kg in conscious deoxycorticosterone acetate/saline-treated hypertensive rats by the tail-cuff method.
