Abstract:
A series of 2,3-diaminopyridine bradykinin B(1) antagonists was modified to mitigate the potential for bioactivation. Removal of the 3-amino group and incorporation of basic 5-piperazinyl carboxamides at the pyridine 5-position provided compounds with high affinity for the human B(1) receptor.
